Only Plug-In Car In Congress Driven By Republican?

[MarvyMarv]

I heard Lamar Alexander, R. TN, drives a plug-in Prius- the only one in congress. Could it be true?!?

Sen. Lamar Alexander Buzzes About His Electric Car

it’s a regular Prius, except the little regular battery in the normal Prius, which a million people have bought, has been replaced with a battery that will take you 30 miles. The regular battery in the normal Prius will only take you a mile and a half.

Incidentally, the $10K Lamar shelled out for the battery is enough to buy 4300 gals of gas at $2.31 a gallon, or go 130,000 miles at 30 mpg.

They currently do not make any OTC plug in hybrids.

Hell, The Governator has both a collection of Hummers and one of the first Telsa electric cars. All that means is that he can afford an expensive car collection.
