You can contemplate driving 700, 1000 miles while using only a couple of tanks-full of gas. And by the way, you can also carry your camping equipment and supplies along with a full size bike. Maybe even a wife.

wow.. Someday I'll have to read all of these. many I read can relate to..

668. You don't turn on the defroster more than you have to

669. Wonder how many MPGs your track would get if it was a hybrid (my 1.6l Miata gets 12mpg at the track..)

670. Wish your hybrid could tow an 18' trailer, track car, tools, tires, and all the rest of your gear to the track.

671. Your day dreams are full of thoughts like a plug in bio-diesel hybrid.

672. Stay at work an extra 15 minutes because you know the traffic pattern you so carefully monitor is not a congested then.

673. When your boss hands out gas station gift cards to all the employees, you are smiling the most because you know your gift card will last longer than everyone else's.

Newbie Here, Only had my HCHI CVT for two weeks. After reading the last 48 pages of this post here are the two things that I would like to contribute.

677. You buy a bottle of Fog-X made by the Rain X people and treat all the inside glass to prevent inside fogging of the glass. (Works Great)

678. When pulling up to other cars in line at a red light you stop right on their bumper so that when everyone pulls up that little bit you don't want to lift that brake to start the ICE back up.
