Totally with you there. Those are the kinds of folks for whom hybrids were invented in the first place, the ones who don't think about how they drive. A hybrid can go a long way toward mediating their bad habits. The fact that a hybrid can reward careful, insightful drivers is like an Easter egg with a $100 bill inside, a greater return on the effort than was anticipated.
