The price of solar hasn't dropped faster then the payback in the last 20 years, it's like that saying about the best time to plant a tree being 20 years ago.

Yes, it's cheaper to install solar now, but waiting doesn't have a benefit.

I'll check for sure, but my parents use around 50 to 80 gallons of gas per year in their 2nd vehicle/truck, yesterday it was too haul home two GE ElecTrack lawn tractors, a Prius even at 60mpg for slow in town driving would use more gasoline per year then they do with a truck and a Nissan Leaf.
I think they would still use more gas with a Chevy Volt then with a Leaf.
