$2.58 here. Traded in my gas guzzling SUV for two used Priuses this week, one for me and one for TAD. Getting 49 mpg, filling up the tank with $15.00, and smiling as I drive away from the pump. Hope the price change will be reflected in air fares soon. I'm tracking a few flights for next year, but haven't seen much change so far.

But, I love my new babies.

I bought a used 2004 Jetta Diesel at the beginning of the year and I love. This last weekend down to Southwest Virginia and back - 680 miles without filling up. I got 45 MPG going 80 MPH. I fill it up every three weeks normally.

Jorge, have you known anyone who has had to replace a battery on a Prius? We checked that out through various Internet searches, because we had the same concern . Except for a few under-warrranty situations, we found no reports of any Prius battery needing to be replaced. Some reported driving 300,000 miles with the original battery. Hope we have the same luck as I suspect replacing one is expensive.Jorge wrote:RickG wrote:I bought a used 2004 Jetta Diesel at the beginning of the year and I love.

Rick, I want another deisel beetle bad. They stopped making it 2 years ago because of the emmisions. Mine is actually going up in price every month. The problem here is that none of our other vehicles get more then 10 mpg, so we fight over the vw. The problem I have with the hybrids is that I know what it cost to replace batteries in cordless tools, I can't imagine what it will be like in 2 or 3 years for these cars. And what landfill do you put 10,000 used car batteries?
