Ok, let me start by saying that I just recently purchased a brand new car! What's the big deal you ask? Well the car does 30 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. Filled up my gas tank 10 days ago (moderate driving) and I still have a quarter tank of gas left. Went to the gas station several hours ago and it cost me 25 dollars to fill her up! In New York! With oil prices and the price of a barrel of oil at just under 60 dollars, that's pretty good in my opinion.
What type of car is it? No it's not a hybrid, its a Honda Civic 2006. Ok close enough. Your probably wondering what the heck I'm talking about, but in my opinion I'm talking about something very important which will effect my life, your life and our grandkids lives in the future. Stop complaining about high oil prices and do something about it! That means not buying a Hummer or an SUV, but buying a fuel efficient car. Empower yourself and stick it to the big oil executives and there counterparts in the middle east.
According to Edmunds.com,
these are the most fuel efficient cars on the road:
Honda Insight 61/66
Toyota Prius 60/51*
Honda Civic Hybrid 45/51
Volkswagen Golf TDI 38/46
Volkswagen Jetta TDI 38/46
Volkswagen New Beetle TDI 38/46
Honda Civic HX 36/44
Toyota Echo 35/42
Toyota Corolla 32/41
Scion xA 32/37
Honda Accord Hybrid 30/37*
Pontiac Vibe 30/36
Toyota Matrix 30/36
Scion xB 31/35*
Dodge Neon 29/36
Toyota Celica GT 29/36*
Don't forget you also get a tax break in 2006 for buying a hybrid car!
Maybe you should buy one? You make the choice, make a smart one. Future generations will thank you!
