Rural mail routes, with houses miles aparts, would be best done in a gas car. I'd suggest an older import wagon, like a Civic or Tercel, because they are bombproof and good for short hops. A hybrid, while a gas saver, would worsen the environmental impact. The electric drive would be used a lot, but maintenance costs would be worse in the long run.
