... but I have two reason not to.
1 would be that the gains a hybrid makes in mpg are mostly for city driving, I will be driving 120 highway miles.
2 I worry about long term maintenance costs. That battery bank has to be expensive
I should have mentioned that cheapness is a big factor here!!! I want to get a car that has depreciated most of its value already !!!
Thanks for the welcome, I'm going to learn a lot here.
