Calif. hybrid drivers cussed for slowness
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 7 (UPI) — Hybrid cars in California are taking the title of most-hated vehicle on the road away from SUVs as their gas-conscious drivers tend to observe the speed limit.
Cars such as the Toyota Prius and Honda Civic have trip-o-meters on the dashboard that gauges gas mileage down to the second, and the San Jose Mercury News said it appears to be having a slow-down effect on their drivers.
However, the hybrids have become hated by SUV drivers who say they are just too slow in the commuters’ left-hand lane.
“These idiot hybrids are clogging up the carpool lane,” complained Bob De Marco, who said hybrids stick to 65 mph when he wants to be doing 75 mph.
When hybrid owner Jim Feichtl sped along at 75 mph to 80 mph, the computer told him he was getting between 35 and 39 miles a gallon. When he dropped to under 65 mph, he got 46 mpg, the newspaper said.
