A hybrid view from the Midwest

Does anyone drive hybrids in the middle of America?

I'm in LaCrosse, WI, and I've already seen more hybrid cars in a few hours than I thought I would see in the whole state. Sometimes the media makes it seem as if hybrids are just some radical left coast, California thing. Not true.

Not only have I seen a number of different hybrids, such as the Toyota Prius, Toyota Camry hybrid and Honda Civic hybrid, I've seen fleets of hybrids in use by local businesses, such as a hospital. Yes, hybrids don't seem quite as popular as in SoCal, but they are more popular here in Middle America than I thought was possible.

Hybrid haters beware. The hybrid revolution is on!
