  • thirdcoastborn, on 05/04/2008, -2/+2I definately have to look into getting a hybrid for our next vehicle.
    • greenbk, on 05/04/2008, -1/+2I highly recommend it. I drive a Prius and get 50+ mpg even in large rolling hills (which decrease your mpg b/c of the gas needed to go up hill)... But even with its small 10 gallon tank, I can just about make it there and back on a 240 mile trip (each way) on the same tank of gas. Or close to 500 miles per tank. I'm sure I can get over 500 mi per tank, but I haven't pushed it... My record MPG for one leg of the trip (240 mi) is 58.1 mpg. Can't imagine how amazing it would be in flat country, way above these numbers I'm sure.
