    Yes, I can use the HOV lane with the car by myself, which was yet another reason I chose the prius. Haven't heard anything about ezpass discounts, do you have any more info on that?

    Use search function to check past threads. I am not expert ...its complex as there is Thruway EZ Pass and Port Authority EZ Pass and if you play your cards right you can get both somehow. The thing I do know is for NJ and NY the rule tends to be 45 MPG or higher so you need the Prius liftback, things like Prius v and Camry hybrid fall below the 45 EPA avg rule

    We're transplanted from NJ and my wife is from LI so we know the territory (kind of).
