new hybrid purchases arent hov exempt. Wish they were.


Gov. McDonnell just granted Hybrids on HOV as long as you have the clean fuel tag.

AWESOME, great governor +100101010101


Oh wait this is stupid, BOOOOOO this sucks,

On I-66, only hybrid vehicles with clean fuel plates issued before July 1 of last year are permitted to use the HOV lanes during rush hours. Hybrid vehicles with clean fuel plates issued after that date will be ticketed.

On I-395/95, only hybrids with clean fuel plates issued before July 1, 2006, are permitted to use the I-395 HOV lanes during rush hours. Police will ticket any hybrid vehicle that does not have a clean fuel plate issued before that date.


DH and I were seriously going to ditch the lexuses for hybrid until we saw that stupid rule didn't apply to new purchases. forget it

Late 10:30 or 11 am. If you can get ino work that late 66 should be a breeze.

I tried that yesterday afternoon. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to get home. The traffic moved, but slowly.

I always drive, take 123 to the GW. Between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the time you go.

Or Ballston if you can't find parking at W.F.C.

what's the best way to get from tyson's to dc? drive? drive to vienna or dunn loring and metro in? short is nice but i would take an extra 10 min if it meant preserving some sanity...
