Only hours after the signing of the federal transportation bill that happened to contain the last little authorization, the California DMV has posted the forms required for Prius, Insight, and Civic Hybrid owners to get HOV stickers that will let them travel in carpool lanes with a single occupant.

I’m not sure how fair this is, yet I’m still first in line. The irony is that a all-gas car stuck in slow traffic gets really bad mileage, while most hybrids do better at slow speeds than fast.
