So far the only 3 vehicles that offer the best mpg are the new civic hybrid, insight(hideous) and the toyota prius. The Insight comes in #1 but let's everyone know you're driving a "hybrid", where the civic will still give you an average of 50 miles to the gallon or more, depending on driving conditions, ect. Yes you are still using gasoline, but the only times you are using the gas motor is when you are reaching speed over 35mph, other than that the electric motor quicks in everytime your in "stop n go mode" and below 35mph. Prius owners are getting 500-650 miles to the tank. The new civic does an average of 550 miles to the tank. Average cost to fill up the tank is $30 bucks. Annual Fuel Cost @ $840 bucks. I average 400-700 miles a week. Average cost to fill up the tank is $40 bucks. Weekly Fuel Cost is @ $200 bucks. Which is approximately $600-$800 a month. This is one of the alternatives im looking into, as spending $800-$1000 a month on fill ups is just not cutting it.
