    "EDMONTON -- One can almost imagine Blaine Zuk giving his testimony at a meeting of Gas Guzzlers Anonymous, talking sheepishly about a gas-sucking V10 pickup truck he used to own.

    Neither he nor his wife was especially proud of the gas guzzler. And the family's second car at the time -- a minivan that was starting to blow blue smoke -- was also a bit of an embarrassment..."

    ...

    "Edmontonian Denny May is another hybrid pioneer with no regrets.

    About five or six years ago, May was getting his Camry serviced at Mayfield Toyota when someone mentioned the dealership would soon get its first shipment of hybrids.

    May, the son of Wop May, legendary Alberta bush pilot, describes himself as "very environmentally conscious." He wanted to hear more."
