That's why I got a hybrid.
I got sick of the gas BS and got a Prius. Living on a fixed income, the hybrid helps me take trip that I would normally not be able to . So screw the gas cos. and get a hybrid. FishHawk

Yeah, well, maybe if you are in need of a new vehicle, but, it doesn't make much sense to trade in a paid for vehicle only lay out $20K + for a hybrid to save a few bucks at the pump, but last summer people went into a panic and did just that....  |

I'm sure this will get blamed on last weeks stock market crash....(adjustment)
I was pondering it all this morning as I pumped 68 bucks worth of gas into my PU......
This keeps up I'll be doing alot more surf fishing and leave the boat at the dock....

Once Again.. the doublespeak, as they tuck it to us..
Once again, seasonal industry activity combined with speculative investing, mixed with geopolitical tension has created an environment for higher fuel costs.
Overall, the direction for fuel prices this summer and later will be determined by whether consumer and investor demand for energy stays high, or is scared away by the political and economic events of the future
From an article online explaining it this AM....

I know several people with the Prius, they all love those cars. And the freedom to be able drive with a little less concern about how much fuel they're gobbling down.
When you think of how many miles many of us cover in a season (as long as it's not on a beach), a fuel sipper like that makes a lot of sense, not counting the fact surf rods don't fit inside very easily. But that's what roof racks are for. |

Unfortunately, if there were a larger fishing featured vehicle and it was even 4WD I'd be hard pressed to volunteer and drive it over the sand on through the SW... (not that my truck has spent mush time out there  ) - You want to break a Hybrid-Eclectric drive? Expose it to the CCNS for a few weeks a year - not to mention needing to fill out all the Clean Harbors forms the day after it gets stuck at low tide...
Now, a hybrid that uses Saltwater for fuel   ... |
