Those aren't the Hypermiling type.. Anyone that has money to burn doesn't really need to give a dam about how much gas his car is burning..

I think we may be a bit off topic here. I think the discussion started off talking about hybrids vs other high MPG cars.

Re: hybrids being status symbol cars, I would lean more towards the Fusion,
than the Prius.. That Ford just looks slick to my eye..

If the Volt stays at $40,000 it's going to be status symbol for sure..
But, guys who just love gadgets and have the spare bucks, will be driving them too.
