This assumes the only benefit to buying a hybrid is financial.

In Arizona, some hybrids qualify to drive in the HOV lane even with no passengers. Many people with long freeway commutes are buying Priuses just for the glorious feeling of zipping down the HOV lane when the freeway is jammed (or so I've been told).

Then Az has it backwards. The gas guzzlers should get HOV rights so they dont it in traffic and burn that extra gas and contribute to global warming. Let the greenies open up their sunroofs and bask in the glory of nature.
