don't get me wrong.... if your going to buy a new car, get the most efficient one for your buck... but if your going to replace a carjust for the economy, it reminds me of the saying "The Prius is an Economy car for people who can't do math". A $300/month car payment + Insurance for 30% better gas mileage that what I'm getting right now.... I would have to drive 6,500 MORE miles per month to "save" money
