Carpooling with your Hybrid

Driving a Hybrid will shrink your carbon footprint.  Carpooling with your Hybrid will put you in a class all by yourself.  You and your friends will be members of the “Super Elite” when it comes to making a contribution toward a cleaner environment.  With that said, it will cost you.  I came across a calculator that may help you with computing the cost of trading in your gas guzzler on a blog called “Political Calculations”.  Here’s the link http://politicalcalculations.blogspot.com/2006/04/should-you-trade-in-your-gas-guzzler.html.

If you’ve recently made the switch to a Hybrid what led to your decision?  Are you satisfied with the technology,,,, the ride?  In your opinion, what should Carolina Commuters considering purchasing a Hybrid take into account before taking the plunge?

If nothing else, a quick review of the calculator’s data points will get you started with defining useful parameters unique to your decision as to whether or not to carpool in a Hybrid.
