You’re not alone: ten states with the most [tag]hybrid[/tag]s – Autoblog
R.L. Polk & Co., a marketing firm that collects and interprets automotive data, recently listed the top ten states with the most registrations of hybrid vehicles for 2005.
California wins all. New York comes in fourth. Here’s a surprise for those who like to play politics with everything — Texas is third.

Yeah, but, as someone who lives in Dallas, I can tell you that that’s just because there are a ton of registered drivers here, and everybody drives their own car. You’d have to do a percentage to impress me. The majority of people on the road here really do drive big trucks and SUVs. I rarely see a hybrid.

Being from Houston, and living in Austin, I know that Texas commutes are the worst. But the reason behind the surge in Hybrid sales in Texas is, I believe, related to Hurricane Rita. After the mass evacuation of the entire southern part of the state, and all the stranded motorists, everyone was looking for an alternative. I don’t know anyone who didn’t have a “friend of a friend” with a Prius who made the trip to Dallas in 10 hours without a tank refill. Since the hurricane, Toyota lots haven’t been able to keep the Prius or the Lexus Hybrids in stock.

“Being from Houston, and living in Austin, I know that Texas commutes are the worst.”
If only that were true …
Hollywood to Irvine and back, along some of the most congested freeway on the planet.
I’m convinced most LA freeway shootings were simply suicide attempts that missed.
