Prius Hybrid Car Welcome In Arizona

by Celesta Krantz

2007 Prius

I was checking out the lead Hubby and I received from my parents-in-law about the Toyota Prius. It’s a electric/gas hybrid being offered. We’re not in the buying mind at this time, but this little charger is right up there on my list of “To Check Out” when Hubby and I do start looking for a new vehicle. I’m also keeping in mind the Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

There’s even a pilot program in Arizona (started in February of this year) that allows energy efficient vehicles to be driven in the HOV lanes regardless of the number of occupants. The Prius, Honda Insight, and the Honda Civic Hybrid are the only ones AZDOT is allowing in the HOV lanes.

    How conscious are Americans becoming of the need to stop polluting the planet so much? It’s nice to see someone blogging with enthusiasm about the new hybrid cars, rather than dismissing them out of hand.

    I shouldn’t be surprised that there’s always someone against us being good stewards to this planet, as intended. I am one who prefers to check things out, keep an open mind. I wish there were more of us.

    Thank you for sharing.
