LOS ANGELES, Dec. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- It is not surprising that of all American citizens, Californians lead the rest of the country in eco-friendly automobile sales. Reports released in the past month reveal that Californians are responsible for a quarter of hybrid car sales, with Green Car Reports proclaiming that the Toyota Prius is the top-selling car in California. Indeed, residents in both the northern and southern parts of the Sunshine State preserve an environmentalist reputation, at least on a general level, through their current automotive interests. California's soaring gas prices and strict smog regulations might play a part in these sales statistics, as operating a green car lets the cut back on these expenditures. In any case, there are plenty of reasons for a Californian to invest in a hybrid, electric, or turbocharged vehicle.  

Perhaps your time has not yet arrived for purchasing a hybrid or electric car, but you would still like to experience what it means to drive green.
