Sounds like someone bought a Hybrid to offset "gluttonous lifestyle".
Hybrid Owners Are Rich, Older And Active![scarborough_hybrid2.jpg](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sFgTdjVfIPyrq78AzZu6opRN3u31tKHk-pvdmkJnVYe3ns9RtPVi7g1Ru-BW_a92Y2fuAfgqqh2IAxrCkfHrF060sHTHioBw1xghrT154E-eEsFpGfbnaQqO5YJ2l9SpOjkvKK6XdNAvmWxN1H7vOogLXrzbZ6XA=s0-d)
Rich, older and active are adjectives that describe today's hybrid vehicle owners, who also tend to be Democrats and Independents, according to (pdf) a recent analysis from Scarborough Research, Marketing Charts reports.
Among Scarborough's other findings:
- Nearly half (42%) of US households that own or lease at least one hybrid vehicle have an annual income of $100,000 or more - more than twice the national average.
- Hybrid Owners also skew older than average, and are 23% more likely than average to be age 50+.
- Hybrid Owners' politics:
- The Democratic party includes the highest percentage of Hybrid Owners, 38%, whereas 14% are Republican, and 34% are Independent
"In marketing hybrids, local dealerships have an opportunity to tap into the high incomes and high-activity level of this consumer group with advertising and promotions," she said.
My Suggestion, offer "gluttonous lifestyle - guilt offset credits" with the purchase of every new hybrid... oh wait they already do (Carbon Credits).
