I live in VA, and I have the choice to drive in the HOV lanes with my prius if I want. (Well I can't yet, I am waiting for my Clean Fuel tags. I have already had one HOV violation ticket from when I first moved to VA, I am being paranoid.)
If I use the HOV lanes I will spend less time commuting, however if I sit in traffic I will use less gas. Sitting in traffic I average between 75 and 100 mpg because I am using mostly the electric engine. Thoughts?
This brings up another argument: What is the purpose of HOV lanes? To reduce the amount of traffic, or to improve environment conditions through reducing emissions?
