So, in the name of conservation, they will reward me if I get rid of my 35mpg compact and buy a 25mpg hybrid SUV. Just another bit of gov't stupidity.
The US government is doing the same thing with tax deductions for purchase of hybrid and electric vehicles. GM is going to respond by making "barely hybrid" SUVs which don't really get much better mileage, but meet the federal requirement for a tax break.
