They drive ~25% more, and going from a ~35 mpg car (small sedan like a Civic for example) to a ~50 mpg car brings it much closer to the 25%. I did exaggerate in my statement and misspoke, but most people going to a hybrid (from my experience) seem to usually come from stuff in the 30 mpg range.
"It found that even though hybrid owners save on gas and greenhouse gas emissions, they drove 25% more on non-work related trips." does that mean they drove 25% more total or of their non-work related trips 25% more? In any case, my last vehicle purchase realized me a massive reduction in fuel consumption and miles driven have only gone up because I've decreased use of my guzzling second vehicle. It's been a total win.

This thread should read "it's official, Gas Prices double under Benny the B's counterfeiting policies"

(along with just about every other commodity)

Money itself follows supply and demand curves too.
