What do all you CA drivers think of this plan?

You know, California was going to enact a law that allowed hybrid cars that meet certain mpg requirements to use the carpool lanes. Detroit, which as of now cannot make hybrids that can compete with Japan when it comes to fuel efficiency, cried foul and claimed the law was unfair and put American auto makers at a competitive disadvantage. Viola! No new law -- yet.

"Privacy advocates say it's more like big brother riding on your bumper, not to mention a disincentive to buy fuel-efficient cars."

So, who's behind this crapola? Big oil.....or big auto?
