Default Who needs a hybrid??

When you get 38.4 mpg!!
Snapped this on the 405 right before the 22 driving down to Westminster from SFV.

I averaged 80 mph and hit some traffic and got bored so I decided to check my mpg haha

SFV --> Westminster takes me roughly an hour, 63 miles. I had been driving a lot actually this morning, from SFV to LAX, LAX to USC, and then USC to Westminster, 200+ miles total today.

I'm not even sure how you guys get 20, I average 18. Too much stop and go, and WOT on the freeway.

Hybrids though, I loved the Camry Hybrid. God, that was an amazing car when I rented it.
