Though I enjoy the tech platform, relish the mileage,
and am delighted with the bulletproof reliability, one
of the most important benefits of my '04 is the HOV-lane
privilege in CA. That saves me many hours a month in
travel time, and dramatically reduces the wait time on
an unavoidable on-ramp near my office.

Apparently that privilege and those stickers will expire
some time in 2011, but I haven't seen official notice.
If so, does anyone know if there's to be any sort of
repeat?

"All Clean Air Vehicle stickers will expire January 1, 2011, unless the law
authorizing their use is extended beyond that date."

from http://www.dmv.ca.gov/vr/decal.htm

Sounds pretty "official" to me. I'm betting against this date being
extended, given that every other car in LA seems to be a Prius.

This applies to the white sticker too; those are for electric cars, LPG
cars, etc.

I'm fairly certain that it will be extended.

Some months ago I ordered my dealer's first 2010,
contingent upon plug-in, lithium, etc. However, when it
became clear that the stickers wouldn't transfer - and
there aren't new ones - I withdrew the order.

I've already had this 2004 longer than any car since my
first in 1954, but will keep it to preserve that
important HOV privilege.
