Gotta have to agree totally on that matter.

I'm not saying all hybrid owners are smug idiots. I don't actually know any hybrid owners that I would consider smug, but regardless, the perception of many is that they are smug idiots. Special parking doesn't help that perception.

I have talked to very few hybrid owners, and they were either smug or illuded by all that marketing regarding overall savings while a cheaper beater would still remain more cost-effective.
