The mayor of Houston says that all Houston fleet cars will be hybrid by 2010. The mayor now rides in a Prius.

He's waiting for the GM hybrid fleet in 07. (just had to add this)

They will be trading in their GM fleet.

Makes sense. They'll be trading for a full size car that meets their needs and getting hybrid too. However being politicians they just might spend the tax payers money on the Lexas. The Accord is to small.

hyperion, you have it right!!

Heck, Portland (Oregon,) has been replacing it's fleet cars with Priii since 2002. We have Natural Gas busses and city trucks, hybrid busses, a former mayor who rode a bike everywhere, and a congressman in D.C. (Blumenauer) who rides a bike to and from work every day.
