Is a gas-guzzling Chevy more American than a foreign hybrid car
Hungry, go eat your import - I always hated that bumber sticker. While I understand the point, and agree with it to some extent, let's get real.
Many people, including my father, only buy American-made cars. It's more patriotic my father recently told me.
"More patriotic than protecting the American environment, more patriotic than ending foreign-oil dependency, more patriotic than fighting terrorism, or bringing our soldiers home?", I asked him.
My father laughed.
O.K., then, I agree - I tell him to his surprise - I'll only buy an American-made car if you only buy American-made gas.
"I would if I could", he tells me, "I'd even pay more".
"That's why I'll only drive a hybrid car."

More people should learn about electric vehicles as a solution. "Zero emissions" is something that's going to be required by law one day (you know it will). Making the decision to go electric is far cheaper anyway, like 10 cents on the dollar vs. gas. (source: zapworld.com)
