I know several people with the Prius, they all love those cars. And the freedom to be able drive with a little less concern about how much fuel they're gobbling down.

When you think of how many miles many of us cover in a season (as long as it's not on a beach), a fuel sipper like that makes a lot of sense, not counting the fact surf rods don't fit inside very easily. But that's what roof racks are for.

Unfortunately, if there were a larger fishing featured vehicle and it was even 4WD I'd be hard pressed to volunteer and drive it over the sand on through the SW... (not that my truck has spent mush time out there ) - You want to break a Hybrid-Eclectric drive? Expose it to the CCNS for a few weeks a year - not to mention needing to fill out all the Clean Harbors forms the day after it gets stuck at low tide...

Now, a hybrid that uses Saltwater for fuel ...
