Confessions of a Prius Owner

I have a terrible confession to make…my best friend has a Chevy Yukon and while I was visiting her I drove it. Yes I drove it and worse yet, I enjoyed it. It had awesome pick up, great turning radius and best of all I was above the traffic. I was looking down instead of looking up. I felt big and bad and I liked it. Does this make me a traitor to my loving Prius? Does this eradicate the need for this blog? Am I a hypocrite? My answer to these questions and please, feel free to disagree with me, is NO. My Prius is still an energy saving beast of a 4-cylinder, my blog is still geared toward the unnecessary, and I am not a hypocrite because Chevy has been proud to announce the Chevy Tahoe & Yukon Hybrid!! The experts are saying that the fuel economy of these hybrid versions is 25 percent better than their conventional equivalent. (go to http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FirstDrives/articleId=120687 for the full story) Since it’s such a large vehicle and we know that physics tells us it will never get the same gas mileage my Prius gets; do we still feel enviro-friendly satisfaction from owning a Chevy Tahoe or Yukon Hybrid? Will 25% better fuel economy 100% satisfy hybrid loving people like me?
