Sure, some people can't afford the better hybrids that are available. However, many people that *do* put 40K or more into a car could easily afford a decent hybrid, but don't bother or see any need to pay for it. >I would love for the federal and state governments to pass laws that >required government agencies to purchase hybrid and fuel efficient cars, >create a demand for them, and the supply will follow.

Such laws do not require *all* cars to meet higher standards. But the technology does exist even to make gas cars more efficient. --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
