Let them use the bike lane. They aren't trying to save gas, they drive slow because they are trying to eat yogurt while driving to yoga class while tweeting their perceptions of their feelings to other hybrid drivers. These are the folks who grew up as the "babies on board". Children of the yuppies, freaking weirdos.
 
Yes, but they should be required to ONLY use that lane to stay out of everybody else's way. The rest of us like to be doing 85 before the on ramp ends.
 
I don't care. You people don't need to be driving that fast anyway. Chill out. Live life. We're all gonna get there soon enough man,
 
Yes, as long as it is funded entirely from the taxes of hybrid/electric owners.

And they are not the slow drivers out there. It's the old people, the soccer moms, foreigners, and the cell phone talkers that generally hold everybody up.

Ok when I miss $500 in games for $20 to a reseller at a yard sale by mere seconds, you can buy them on eBay for me at reseller prices. :awe:

If you end up spending say 15 minutes more per day driving because of slowness, that's almost 4 hours of extra driving per year. So over the course of a general lifetime (let's say 16 to 70 years old) you've wasted over 200 extra days just sitting in your car.

Naaah: forcing them to live in teepees on a steady diet of bean sprouts, soy products, and water would be much more entertaining.

Make a Reality show of the ensuing train wreck and sell it to the Discovery channel for a couple more million, while you're at it. :thumbup:

And I will have enjoyed it more than you did wherever you were rushing to. 200 extra days of sitting somewhere air conditioned, listening to an audiobook or something doesn't sound bad to me. I certainly won't be death gripping my steering wheel, sweating every missed merge opportunity, or bursting a blood vessel over the guy in front of me driving the speed limit instead of 7 mph over.
 
No. Many hybrids still get way worse MPG than a small car. If you are going to make a new lane to encourage fuel efficiency, it should be based on MPG and not whether your ginormous SUV is a hybrid yet still only gets 20mpg.
 
my hybrid suv gets 32/33 mpg highway and that lane is call the right lane. Im on it doing 55/60 all the time, i barely go on the passing lane. Im on the left lane when I drive the z4, else im always on the right
 
There is, it's called the HOV lane here, and they're often moving faster than the rest of the traffic because highways are so jammed.
 
I would vote for a Fuel Cell or solar or something like that, which does not plug into electric grid at all or used any kind of fossil fuel. But outside of that NO, no special lane for anyone.
