I could not have said it better myself. Oliver Sacks, a hero of mine for many reasons, has added another reason for me to admire him.   I too have a hybrid (prius by Toyota). I've had it for 3 years and continue to love everything about it. 
I am now going to actively petition our city and state officials to have them give special privileges in HOV lanes and exemption from tolls entering NYC to hybrid cars.  Both California and London have set a precident  in these areas.
