“I drive a hybrid so I have more money for ammo” (bumper sticker)

“I drive a hybrid so I have more money for ammo” is a jocular saying that has been printed on several bumper stickers.
     
“I saw a prius w/ NH plates with bumpersticker: ‘I drive a hybrid so I have more money to buy AMMO!!’” was posted on Twitter by Artys Corporate Fiction & Gaming on June 1, 2013. “Bumper sticker on Prius next to my bus: ‘I drive a hybrid so I have more money for ammo’” was posted on Twitter by Veronica on February 6, 2014. “There is a car in front of me with the bumper sticker that reads ‘I drive a hybrid so I can have more ammo’” was posted on Twitter by lura on August 14, 2015.
   
       
Wikipedia: Hybrid vehicle
A hybrid vehicle is one that uses two or more distinct types of power, such as submarines that use diesel when surfaced and batteries when submerged. Other means to store energy include pressurized fluid in hydraulic hybrids.
 
The basic principle with hybrid vehicles is that the different motors work better at different speeds; the electric motor is more efficient at producing torque, or turning power, and the combustion engine is better for maintaining high speed (better than a typical electric motor).

Today I was driving behind a Prius that had a Oregon Veteran plate, an NRA sticker, and a bumper sticker that said “I drive a hybrid so I have more money for AMMO!” Was reminded of this study.

(One bumper sticker reads “I drive a hybrid so I have more money for ammo” and another reads “It’s a hybrid. It burns gas and oil.”—ed.)
