Why drive a hybrid or electric car

The most fuel-efficient midsize hybrid get a combined mileage of 46 miles a gallon; a typical midsize car gets 25 miles a gallon. By not using as much gas, you're saving 4.5 barrels of oil a year, a cash savings of $560.

There is a great documentary about electric cars - "Who killed the electric car?" Rent it and watch it.



Then check out my husband's dream car, the Tesla 2010 Roadster. I've contacted the company to see if they'd let us test one, and blog about our experience here. Keep your fingers crossed for postiive future Tesla updates.
