    OK, I've had a Prius for nearly two years, my wife has had one for six months now. And we *still* get a giggle out of the concept of "Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle".

    x = 0 / 2;

    :huh:

    I guess they didn't want to complicate it by saying "Part of the time zero emissions".

    My emissions are not as good as yours. We only get x = 0/3 from our PZEV. :blink: Or is that better?

    Keep in mind that non-hybrids can qualify for a PZEV rating.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PZEV
    And in California, there are many cars that qualify:

    Unfortunately most of those cars on these lists are not PZEV's for Colorado. :( , maybe the Cobalt and the Mazda3 and thats about it.
