I don't know about other states, but this is happening in California. Personally I think if I was one of the engineers that came up with the HOV lane idea I would have a fit at this political manipulation to encourage the purchase of environmentally friendly cars. It is a disadvantage to commuters, and an insult to the taxpayers who spent billions renovations making these HOV lanes.

I got $2,000 off on my taxes. I can drive in the carpool lane and I don't have to pay for parking at meters anywhere in Santa Monica or Los Angeles. Plus, when I see pictures of dead soldiers in the paper, I know that I'm using as little gas as possible (I also use bags from reusablebags.com), and fouling the air as little as possible. P.S. My friend Darcy just bought a new VW bug that runs on Biodiesel. Not sure how that costs out, but the last two points apply to her as well.
