Well, it's actually my dad's. But I drive it when I need something temorarily at school. It's a honda civic; real cute, drives smoothly, quietly (mostly when it is in rest briefly, I notice this lapse in background noise). I can drive from Richmond to Charlottesville and back twice on one tank of gas. That's about four hours with one tank, give or take 40 minutes. Plus, on the gas gage, there's also a battery gage, and when you aren't accelerating and are traveling at a good enough speed, it'll start to charge the battery (this is shown by green lines); this makes driving on the interstate a bit like a video game, where the goal is to see how charged I can make the battery.
It also has a nice economy air conditioning feature, where it'll turn the air off when you stop the car at at other times, to help conserve energy. I'm an amateur at gauging how "superior" one car may be from another, but this one drives well, and it saves me costs on gas. |

only four hours on one tank? i drove a little about 4.5 hours this weekend to massachusetts and i got 4 hours on one tank too. and my car is pretty shitty with fuel. of course, it cost me 35 to fill it up too.

ive never run outta gas before, but i am always on the red line. its kinda like Kramer, pushing Jerrys car to see how far it can go... i can usually get 500km per 50L ... 10km/L. not bad, i suppose, but i should prolly have a Jerry can, yuk yuk... i never fill up the entire 60L now; $10 gets above the red line enough to drive for a few more days of work.
i should try some jetfuel in my shitty '95 cli-taurus because my friend refuels planes at the airport. now that would be an octane boost! wouldnt do much good with my leaking brake lines. ever drive with no brakes? unnerving, to say the least. |

from what i can tell, if yer looking into hybrids, toyotas got the best one: the prius. but even their little toyota echo is awfully good on fuel. i think they renamed the echo recently.. yaris, or something silly like that. |

Yeah, the Toyota Prius is the best Hybrid car available. It's actually a really good car as well ... the first Hybrid car to not be a piece of shit.
THe thing is, if you drive a Hybrid car like any other car, then you're going to get essentially the same gas mileage. If you do only city driving, then you'll get great gas mileage because it'll run on the battery for like 85% of the time and using the breaks will automatically recharge the battery. If you do a lot of highway driving, though, then you won't see any more of a difference than you would in a similarly classed car. This is the first generation of hybrids that haven't been a scam.
