I made my first trip to San Francisco this week and although I expected to see a higher percentage of hybrid cars compared to most Midwest cities, I was really surprised. Polk & Company and hybridcars.com showed the city was #3 in 2009, behind only Los Angeles and New York. That got me wondering if hybrid popularity was mainly tied to population size or if some cities were clearly much greener than others. Oklahoma City. Kansas City. Salt Lake City.
