i think the problem is caused by global warming.

 i cannot debate the issue on it's technical merits. i haven't even driven a car in about three years. but i know that when the media, trail lawyers, and the idiot percentage of citizens join forces something bad is coming.

Boy! I can't wait for a hybrid version of the police cruiser/taxicab to come out. I have to pay for the gas I use out of my own pocket.

Varmint you are wrong. It is George Bush the Boob, Dick Cheney The Anti-Christ,  and that, that, oh the horror....The Great Demon Carl Rove who are causing this problem.  Right now at this very second they have their minions forcing aliens from the planet Rastafairia, who are being held prisoner at Area 51.  to fold space brain waves into the Electronic Control Modules on Toyota Hybrids and infect them with Klu-Klux-Klan viruses.   Think about who is it that drives Prius cars, you quessed it Left wing, abort their babies, eco-freak, tree hugging, global warming, Don't kill whales, KFC is mean to Chickens, vegan, nudists who are smarter then you because....well because.   They pontificate to all that Single White male Americans are root of all EVIL  Look at what we do,  drive trucks with big V8 engines, have tail gate parties, watch WWE wrestling, shoot guns, kill bambi,  are members of the National Rifle Association, live in gun culture states like Wyoming , cut down all of the trees, enslaved dogs, eat meat, drink beer, leer at women, wake up with morning wood, and are the cause of global warming because we fart.  That is what is happening.  I know this is true because I was told this when I was channeling Congressman Murtha.
