hybrids and smog check
Created September 20, 2006, at 1:54 am by Anonymous
just curious: how to perform a smog check on a hybrid? what's the "idle"? and what's the requirement for hybrid smog check in CA, i.e. when is the first year a smog check is required?

The '03 Civic hybrid doesn't require a CA smog check since they don't know how to do it. I can't vouch for the other hybrids but I suspect they are similiar.

huh? another money saving for hybrids? over the lifetime of a hybrid, we can save a few hundreds on smog check costs. consumer report should factor this into their calculation. :)

Yes, if you look at the CA DMV website, it mentions that hybrids are exempt from smog checks.
