Instapundit Goes Hybrid
Thank heavens for eco-responsible-intellectual-political-legal-hybrid bloggers! Glenn Reynolds, the noted Instapundit has settled down with a Toyota Highlander hybrid SUV and tells us he is happy with the match. Instapundit.com - (Man, Toyota's got to love that! You just can't buy that kind of advertising. Contrast this sort of press with recent camara shots of indicted Libby disappearing into a luxurious BMW 7 Series -- ouch.)
Others, of course, find Toyota's "tree-hugging" representations just a little fatuous. Business Week wonders about Toyota's Hit and Myth Marketing. This can't come as a surprise to anyone who has read HYBRIDBUZZ over the last two years. Happy to be part of the hybrid movement, but deeply disappointed with the actual gas mileage he gets, Pete Blackshaw has chronicled his personal experience with a hybrid Honda Civic.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I have a certain horror of dedicatedly writing down my trip miles traveled divided by the number of gallons I just put in the car, so I can determine my gas mileage. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to do, quite the contrary, but my obsessive-compulsive family has been doing this religiously for thirty years, so figuring actual gas mileage has really lost any sense of novelty for me.
