Its over priced and really isn't all that useful, there are pure electric cars that leave the volt in the dust without a drop of gas

From what I recall reading a month ago (To lazy to look up) you get between 30-40 miles on the battery then its back to a gas engine. With the Nissan Leaf for example you get a 100 miles range, and a minimum of 60 miles if you abuse the heck out of it

 the battery goes about 35 miles. then the gas engine kicks in to start running the electrics, and/or recharging the battery.

when you look at the extra cost of the vehicle and compare to what you might save in gas it doesn't save you anything compared to a reasonably efficient sedan.

 THIS.

 this also holds true for just about any of the hybrids.

Filled the Wrangler (19 gallons) this morning for  ~ $65.

$3.87/gallon

I stuck the nozzle into my gas tank, bent over and cried "RAPE"  :furious

87 Oct.?  If you call that RAPE you might want to keep your children locked inside when I roll into town - eager for my serving at your local station for only $3.87, man that's nice!

Just paid $4.20 U.S./gallon for 93 octane.  A tank full (13 gallons) usually lasts between 475 and 500 miles.

I paid $4.219 per gallon of 87 last night.  That's pretty high for Texas...

Welp, I'm going to stop whining about high gas prices....some of you are paying a lot more  :D

Wait, what?... but I've only started bi!@#n'!

OK, but seriously, I'm actually happier walking out of this thread than I came walking in, and that's rare.  Seems compared to the nation, CAs aren't overly-inflated.

^^^ This. I'd love a diesel wagon for work. 50mpg in a car that actually is functional.

 you say that jokingly......but the last time gas hit 4/gallon, people were punching holes in gas tanks, and draining them. one of my friends runs a napa....they got 3 of his trucks.

sad but true with me too. I have a 16 gallon tank in my Subaru Impreza, but still none the less, $3.87 is rape. I remember a year ago it was around $3.00......

no offense, good luck. unless you strike lucky like CAP did, anything good on fuel that will last forever if maintained will cost you an arm and a leg.
