The vehicle you turn in has to have been "continuously registered and insured for a year" to be eligible. As well as be on the "list of approved vehicles" That figures, I just retired one that would have qualified and registered another that is on the list but has not been "continuously registered and insured for a year" even though I have owned it for over 4 years so it does not qualify. Rust is killing the one that I really want to replace but it is still getting 43 MPG and not on the list anyway.

Politics aside, the intent has good merit. About 2 weeks ago, these folks where here in Hawaii and we saw the film. I recall buying Joshua's book many years ago and he was on the bleeding edge of taking this concept mainstream. It is a good movie, docu-drama about our insatiable appetite for the black gold. http://thefuelfilm.com/ If you are considering a new wrench transportation option, the timing seems to be apropos.
