I live in CA, like many of you. I like this change. But I would rather they not offer the same advantage to EVs now. Many of the lanes are jammed. You are often better off in the "regular" lanes. The HOV lanes only require TWO people in the car. It should be three people. Give a tax break for three person car-pools. Until the anti-social commuter can at least climb out of the psychological box of the commute, we'll all just get jammed daily.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
