Back in the first quarter of this year, my wife and I purchased a second hand hybrid, because her old car died. Now, we’ve been very impressed with the gas mileage we’re getting in that car — so naturally we drive that one more. While I’m not financially ready to replace my car just yet, I’m definitely keeping my eyes open for either a commuter hybrid or something that runs on a slightly exotic fuel.
It’s not just a gas price thing for me, though. I’ve had my SVX for about 6 years, and I think I’ve grown out of it. Before my Suby, I had a station wagon, which really worked for me. So I think in the coming year I’m on the hunt for a Golf or a Passat or worst-case, a Jetta.
Either way, the whole idea of running on biodiesel or better yet, grease and waste vegetable oil is very appealing to me.
