Re: You know you're a real hybrid owner when...
All these posts that lament "the wife" driving the car and messing with MPG are so TRUE!
When Deb took the car to work the other day, we actually got into an argument. Seems she needs to learn Hybrid 101!!!

660) your engine warm-up involves a carefully timed speed burst to 35 mph and a short "forced charge" at a stop light for reasons too complex to explain in less than 500 words.

661) Change the oil every 10k miles, change the transmission fluid every 30k miles and refill the gas tank every 600-700 miles.

662) When you ask your passenger if you can borrow some power from his MP-3 because you are a little short on gas, and plug it in just to see his reaction! [He bought it -- Honest!]
It is the ignorant among us that will eventually destroy us all.
