Going Hybrid is Going Green (in a weird way)

Back when hybrid cars first hit the market there was a certain type of person that was attracted. For the most part, they were environmentally friendly and aware, they were defensive drivers on the road and they actually got credits on their insurance policies because they were "safe" drivers compared to the rest of us.

Not any more.  I've been hearing this talked about for a couple of months, but hadn't seen it actually proven, other than some insurance company underwriters making jokes.  I just read an article from Insure.com that makes the case that, for insurance purposes, driving a hybrid car will cost you money.

If you don't drive a hybrid you can laugh and exclaim "I knew it!"  If you do drive a hybrid feel free to tell yourself that you're not one of the problems.
