If a store is trying to reward customers who were fuel efficient, then it would make sense to deny parking to someone who lives 2 blocks away, even if they drove up in a Prius.The whole thing reminds me of the phrase "conspicuous consumption" from years ago. There is this element of " look at me, I'm so green" to it all. You wanna really be green, take the bus! Before I moved away, I gave some thought to buying a Prius. Not because of the fuel economy, but because I would have been allowed to drive in the LIE HOV lane even as a single occupant vehicle, and that could have saved me 10 or so minutes each way. |
