Personalized plates
 
Anyone has personalized plates for their hybrid. Any ideas or suggestions?

Re: Personalized plates
 
Depending upon if your state has 7 or 8 letters here are a few of the ones that I could come up with:

SAVESGAS
NVMYMPG (Envy my miles-per-gallon)
NO4NOIL (No foreign oil)
LOW EMSN (Low emission)
PASSGAS
CVC DTY (Civic Duty for Civic Hybrid)
2GOB4 (In Latin, Prius means "to go before")
HYBREW
EATMYAMP
DRIVEHY
PUCKOFEC
600 TANK
GOES FAR
4 EARTH
ORGANIC
2SLOW4U
GREENER
PROGRES
ADVANCE
KSMYGAS
GAS PAIN
MY PART
GREENVUE

I drive very slowly and the tailgaiting stopped when I got a plate with a message telling drivers behind me I'm going this slowly on purpose.
When they read the plate they realize I'm not on the phone or spaced out and just pass me up immediately.

GO SLOW
GOINSLO
NOHURRY
NO RUSH
PASS ME
RELAXIN

JUst called the department of transportation. I can only have 6 letters. And HYBRID is not taken. I know it is not very original. But it is tempting.

I was looking for a MPG plate (45 to 60 MPG), but they seem to be all taken. I decided on and ordered the plate below, but I'm debating on the wording on the frame. I know people out there say "Well I can get 600 miles on my tank too", not realizing their tank is 25-30 gallons while our HCH's are only 12.3!

I'd be careful with anything that gives specifics about gas savings. I started with a plastic frame with interchangable letters:

Save Gas
XXX-XXX
Burn your SUV

I got alot of close encounters with pickup drivers and highbeam problems. Changed it to one less offencive:

Save Gas
XXX-XXX
Follow Me

Burn your SUV I like that.... Although it would be pretty bad for the earth.

I chose to go with more of a "global" plate. I've had few annoying tail-gaters or honks.

I GET
600 MILS
ON 12 GALLONS
