hybrid cars - if a celebrity knows about an eco friendly hybrid car limousine does that mean that they have to use it?

The question is:
If a celebrity who is into saving the environment, knows they can get a eco-friendly hybrid car limousine in any major city in the USA, does that mean they must use it? Don't they know that the un eco-friendly gas guzzling lincoln town cars are not the way to get around?

So far that has not been the case, but maybe because they didn't know they could get a limo that was one of the hybrid cars? Can an eco friendly hybrid car match the comfort of a town car?

If the eco limo companies have any impact, all celebrities will soon be in a prius limo:

What cities is the limo service offered?
Los Angeles, New York, Boston, and San Francisco has the black prius limo available.

What about room? Is there enough space in a prius?
The Prius hybrids backseat passenger space is only a couple of inches smaller than a Town Car. Besides, most limo passengers are single passengers with one piece of luggage. For larger parties, ECOLIMO offers a Chevrolet Surburban SUV, outfitted to run on compressed natural gas.

The long term goal of hybrid limo entrepreneurs is to have an ecolimo service available in every major city.
