If 10,000 LA Biters opt for a fuel-efficient car service for a 20-mi trip instead of a traditional limo, we'll keep the weight of 76 Priuses in CO2 out of the atmosphere.

Not so eco: The Hummer H2 limo seats 26 people, and includes a dance floor, two plasma TVs, and a laser light show.

Drive Me Crazy

The Bite

Just the thought of getting on the 405 enough to push you over the edge? Let someone else drive you. EcoLimo's fuel-efficient luxury cars use about half as much gas as your run-of-the-mill taxi, emitting less CO2, and preserving that much more of the world's nonrenewable oil reserves. We take the Toyota Prius for longer trips, like to the airport (best mpg of the bunch), but might upgrade to the Mercedes E320 if we get an invite to a fancy Oscars party. Now Eco-Limo will drive you crazy, in a good way.
