"The city of Seattle [owns] what seems like hundreds of these white Toyota Priuses....I see the giant parking lot where they keep them in, and I see that even during the day they're unused," Sinofsky told CNET. "They're not an efficient use of resources. The people who drive the fleets, and own the fleets would love to have fewer cars that are used more. There's less repair, there's less maintenance, there's less capital, there's less energy, less insurance - and if you can be more efficient, it doesn't change the availability of the car."
