would you buy hybrid car

kinda hard to haul two ice chests loaded with beer, a barbeque pit, a half dozen lawn chairs, saddles and tack and four friends plus a 30 foot 9000# four horse slant trailer to the ranch in your little prissy prius.

If you get a Prius, you can say, "Look! Prius!" and wave to all the other Prius owners like Larry David.

Kind of hard to do that in a Pontiac, too.

So he has put in 200 gallons of gas in it at $2.00/gal., that comes to $400.00.

If you have a truck that gets 18/gallon, you have put in 555 gallons at $2.00/gal so you have spent $1100.00 in gas.

The car owner saves $700.00 every 10,000 miles or every 6 months at an annual savings of $1400 or a little over $110/ month

Is that worth the extra car payment?

There are also non-monetary reasons for doing this.

Mrs. ASF wants one of these for Christmas. I can't figure out why since we only have TWO freaking horses...I guess she thinks they might want to switch places or something. Something tells me Santa won't have enough room in his sled this year...

you get 2000 tax deduction if you buy one

on the accord if you are currently getting 18 miles per gallon
drive 20 miles a day and gas is $2.22
over 10 years you save 10,000

but gas is always going up
and the accord gets 33 miles per gallon
you can do that at the accord's site

however I do more then 20 miles per day but gas was 2.25 now it is 1.97
they raise the gas in nov when 130,000 people start coming to town
and they see the rvs that can go 1500 on a tank of diesel come here on empty and they see $$$$$$$$$$$
