    First few paragraphs:

    Rita Koziarski seemed almost apologetic.

    "I think I filled up the tank once in March," said the resident of Chicago's Beverly community.

    It's not that Koziarski doesn't drive much. It's that her vehicle is pretty frugal on gas. The high school chemistry teacher commutes to work each day and estimated she put more than 500 miles on her car that month.

    Needless to say, a tagline in the paper during the week stated "The pros & cons of hybrids, coming Sunday" and I'll be damned if I didn't have a pen and paper out ready to write a letter. But when I read the article this morning, I was pleasantly surprised.

    I thought perhaps you were talking about the Chicago Tribune having this article this morning so I cracked it open and started looking. What I found instead was a Transportation section front-page article on the new, higher powered GMC Sierra line.

    I think I like your article better. :)

    On a side note, there is a (very small) segment about the increasing sales of hybrids. Nothing new to anyone here, though. Must have had three inches of paper-space to kill.
