gasmask78 Champion Author Virginia Posts:2,283 Points:446,565 Joined:Sep 2011	Message Posted: Jan 23, 2012 11:10:56 PM Ignore gasmask78 Report Abuse Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to be able to fit into a hybrid. I really believe in alternative energy to reduce the usage of fossil, carbon-based fuels. But I'm a tall fellow, as the topic clearly alludes. I'm not asking for a hybrid monster truck, but I can barely fit both of my legs in those things. SUV's should have a 350% higher tax rate relative to Hybrid cars. Not only are they deadly to humans (collisions), but they are also polluters extraordinaire. I wonder how Conan O'Brien gets around? Or Shaq?

It belongs in "Car Talk" or "Off Topic". Instead of creatIng topics in the wrong category, make a better effort to contribute to the site by updating gas prices. The gas prices are information that others use to find the best fuel prices around.

Perhaps you should repost your message in one of the other forum categories; "Car Talk" might be the best one.
