Sheriff's new wheels: gas-sipping hybrid -- chicagotribune.com: "BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Monroe County sheriff's new car might not be ideal for chasing down fleeing suspects, but it gets about 45 miles a gallon.
Sheriff Jim Kennedy and two other department administrators started driving Toyota Prius hybrids after the cars arrived last week.
The sheriff's new car isn't much different from a standard Prius. It has the department logo on the side and will get an interior light bar.
The idea for the hybrid came from County Councilwoman Jill Lesh, who is a member of the southern Indiana county's fleet financing subcommittee."
