Ok, debated posting this, but I think it's a hot deal. Since a new law last year, California allows you to drive in the HOV (carpool) lanes alone if you have an alternative fuel vehicle (natual gas or electric, hybrids don't qualify). Very few people know about this new law (about the only other people I ever see taking advantage of it are cab fleets so their drivers can return from a dropoff quickly).
The Natural Gas Vehicle form at www.ngv.org has a list of used qualifiying cars for sale at Cars for sale The site also has a list of refueling stations at Refuelling stations
I've had one of these vehicles since July to commute in, I regurally enjoy passing miles of stopped traffic while the HOV lane keeps moving The fact it has almost 0 emessions is another bonus. The topper is that fuel costs are about 33% less than unleaded fuel costs for the equivalent amount of fuel.
