I personally hate the Green today gone tomorrow attitudes of the consumers that are buying Hybrids. In a perfect world, those that bought these vehicles wanted to do so to make a positive change in their lives and the enviroment. So why sell the car after 2 years? If those owners really cared about making a change, then hold on to your Hybrid, don't trade it in or sell it because you want the next latest or greatest thing.
And as far as driving habits, you guys are right, I hit 100 miles of highway everyday and watch countless Prius blow my doors off at speed higher than 70mph. Then again, I shake my head knowing I am getting better gas mileage out of a 4 year old non hybrid sub compact.
Education on so many levels seems to be the answer ..
