I wonder if the fact that hybrids don't make economic sense when buying new is the reason why hybrid owners are seen as smug, preachy, or pious. Perhaps there is some truth to that generalization, and those owners need something other than economics to justify their decision to purchase a hybrid. The mindset being; if I'm altruistic minded, then you should be too.
