Here's an interesting article to read:
Forbes' Strange Behavior (http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2008/0519/036.html)
"There's no doubt that hybrid owners end up spending just as much on gasoline as before because the added efficiency allows them to rationalize driving more miles," says David Littmann, economist at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.
Definitely interesting to say the least. I've been trying to drive less and less so it's really funny to read this cuz this just never crossed my mind. It does make sense though cuz I would try to rationalize it that way too (lol). So for all of ya Prius owners, you guys driving more miles because it's a Prius?
