It does not hold a candle to my metro.

the article only tells me how much MONEY they put into the tank $6.49 and how many miles they drove 115.7 but not how much PER UNIT the gas costs. is it the same today less more? I know the gas at our home (heating) is far more expensive NOW than it was a few years ago.

on top of that a price premium that is even more expensive than the hybrid price premium meaning the same thing. will never save me a penny in gas.

so YOU do some research.
That's the biggest load of BS so far in this thread. And this is already a BS thread. Don't feed the troll. He is just looking for an argument.
