Looks like there are also provisions for not allowing access locally as HOV lanes start to get clogged. Plus it all expires in 2011 unless extended.

The GX is in the same bucket as the other hybrids as long as they get decent MPGs.

EDIT: The GX isn't held to the mileage requirements like the hybrids are (45MPG or better). Still all of the stickers are spoken for.

hey Paul, I have the electrical fix wired into my rear oxygen sensor because my downpipe is catless. When I put the stock DP back on is that thing thats now wired into the sensor going to cause any problems?

Oh yeah, I'm only going back to stock to get smogged

If it's wired, it's not a "mechanical" fix. Mechanical is just a piece of metal that moves the sensor out of the pipe.

ok, then its the electrical fix. I forgot about that mechanical one, I was thinking there was having the CEL code blocked by a retune and the wired one.

Thanks for the correction, I edited the original post

I drooled on the Corbin Sparrow. Then the Honda Insight. Now this peice of **** looks tempting for when the STi stops being my DD.

The HOV exemption stickers for hybrids are all taken. Would the GX be in the same pool or different? In other words. Can you still get an exemption for the GX?
the Phill station is like 2k or some crap...depending on your gas guy putting in the stub.

the HOV stickers are harder to get now. But, the GX does qualify for them...dunno how to get them though. Last i heard, some prius owners had to show that they crossed bridges on a normal schedule.
