Default I apologize. I have to vent!
Does anybody else feel guilty about driving a V8?

My round trip commute is 70 miles. This sucks.

Why feel guilty? You pay for the gas you use, don't you?

Default Guilty? No.
A hybrid, or any other gas powered vehicle, is still exactly that.... You are still consuming or polluting.

Now, the impact on your wallet, well, everyone feels that no matter what you drive. A 15% increase of one cent or one dollar is still a 15% increase.

I ride my manual powered bicycle when I consider conserving (whether its to the store, or any other quick trip).

Not any more than I did before the gas price spike. Which is to say, not at all.
