Just got an 06 hybrid with carpool stickers (which adds a few thousand to price here in CA).

Saved 20 minutes of commuting this morning ALONE using the carpool lane. Seems like a decent car, seems to do what its meant to do great (economy based car). I will be selling my 4runner (will be missed) but this will save me about 30-40 minutes a day commuting and $2k gas per year

I am thinking about changing the wheels to normal civic or civic SI wheels, but want to check weights first to see if it would affect my MPG in a negative way. I don't think aerodynamics would come into play?
