I just want to support the IDEA of fuel-efficient cars, y'know? At this point in my life I'm not worried about cost-efficiency. if I have to spend a little more money to let my dollars make the point that I want a fuel-efficient car that helps the environment, then so be it. A sort of "every little bit counts" thing.

Then again, if it's not really helping the environment I certainly don't want one. I'll have to look into that. I have probably until next year (unless Goldbug dies early D: )

I'll admit, the reason I was interested in this post was because I'm a closet, lazy treehugger myself. "Closet" and "lazy" because I just don't have the activist personality - I don't like PEOPLE enough to be an activist on pretty much anything - and because I know I'm limited and can only do so much. But I like doing small things myself in the hopes that I can balance out the bad things I'm inadvertantly doing to the planet by doing some small good things.

Also because I like hearing nerdy engineers ramble. XD
