Re: Should I or Shouldn't I?
There are several post on here that deal with the financial end of the decision. As far as driving in traffic concerned, to me it was just a matter of not sticking to the bumper in front of me. I don't fall back either and slow down traffic. When I drive it normally the mileage is ok, not stellar. I have taken tips from the site and have noticed drastic increases, most of the time I don't have the patience to drive it like a hybrind. In the summer the AC killed my mpg about 2mpg, buy my commute is fairly longer than yours (53 miles one way). As for winter, I live in So. Cal. and I really don't believe we know the definition of winter. I recently did some mods which enabled the car to drive faster and conserve more gas. Hope this helps.
