25 Car With Mpg Good As Hybrids

[SKurj]

My commute is 50 miles each way at 60-80mph.. No point in my buying a hybrid, even if there wasn't a premium price attached to them. Now a diesel.. maybe but of course the only real diesel option yet is the VW's and no thanks! Even the premium price for the diesel and then the more costly service.. and then the fluctuating price of diesel.. make it hard to justify.

Now when I can buy a hybrid or even plug in, that can do 150-200 miles on a charge at highway speeds .. maybe then.. so long as the price doesn't out weigh the fuel savings.

and wtf is with all the 80mph prius's ... treehugger by night.. lumberjack by day?

I came from a VW TDI. Finally gave up after 4 years of problems. Yes they get better MPG but factor in the added cost, higher diesel prices and expensive maintenance and it's just not worth it, and that's if everything is working right. Now throw in break downs, shop time, vehicle unavailability and it's REALLY not worth it.

I bought a 2014 Yaris SE and life is good now.
