Default Re: $3.25 gas, aren't you glad you bought one?

My old car was a Toyota Echo, so it wasn't exactly a thirsty vehicle anyway. But my Civic Hybrid does deliver about 6 MPG more, is more comfortable to drive, has better instrumentation, burns cleaner, and is quieter.

I'm really glad that I got the hybrid. I wouldn't ever again buy a non-hybrid (unles some newer, even more effecient technology supercedes it). Or to put it another way: my target MPG is 40 for any future vehicle (which I believe the Corolla and SmartCar are the only non-hybrids that make the cut).

.

Hope is like a candle held against the night.
