Hybrid Cars Coming Soon to Carpool Lanes
 

Hybrid car owners are fast approaching the day when they will be allowed to drive solo in California's car pool lanes.

California's law was supposed to take effect Jan. 1 but first needed approval from the federal government. That permission was tucked into a $286 billion transportation bill Congress passed last week, meaning there is just one last strand of red tape keeping hybrids out of the high-occupancy vehicle lanes: State air regulators need to clarify which vehicles meet the mileage and emissions standards.

I hope when this passes, we, as hybrid owners, do not need to get that real ugly sticker on the car! come on, do we need to ruin our cars for it?
