Hybrid cars by town (MA)

Bohous · 08-14-2008, 08:34 PM

This is probably only interesting for those of us in MA but here is a sortable list of hybrid cars by city. I found it interesting that my town (Newton) has the 2nd most hybrids in the state, behind only Boston.

But percentage-wise, you only have 0.1% more than my town of Northampton. For those too lazy to check, here are some superlatives:

Highest percentage: New Ashford, with 6.7% (second place is Leverett with 4%). Of course, with 7 cars out of only 105 and 43 cars out of 1088, that doesn't mean much.

Highest percentage with city with more than 10,000 registered cars: Lexington, with 2.3%.

Lowest percentage: Springfield, at 0.1% (a mere 98 cars out of 73,572).

Bohus...you're probably right.

I'd be a little concerned that someone was actually WATCHING my car.... Prolly try to come and take 'em all back, too. You know, conspiracy and all that.... ESPECIALLY in Massachusetts! Gawd, those bozos want social programs for dirt! LOL
Just kidding, boys and girls. Don't call the PC Police!

Sitting here quietly, thinking how happy I am that my kids are growing up in Massachusetts.

When you look at the percentages, it is all the wealthier communities with the high figures. Which makes sense for cutting edge technology.

Are Prii even legal in Alabama? Or are you only allowed to own one as long as you don't give up your pickup truck so you have something to tow your mobile home?
