We Have to Drive
Have you noticed how many Prius cars there are on the roads these days? I hear there is a waiting list if you want to buy one. I think they are very pretty and snazzy looking vehicles. I don’t think I would mind the good gas mileage they get. I paid $3.65 per gallon at the gas station today. The two-seat Tesla Roadster is priced at $109,000, so I doubt I will be buying one of those any time soon. I am interested in the Prius since it is a more affordable car.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency the 2008 Prius is the most fuel efficient car sold in the U.S. It is tied with the Mini-Cooper as being the second least CO2-emitting vehicle behind the Volkswagen Polo. The Mini-Cooper is another favorite of mine. We sat in a couple while waiting for our meeting at PayPerPost in Orlando. The Mini-Cooper dealership is across the street.

I’m thinking that our next car will be a hybrid. I hope there are more to choose from in a couple of years when we’re shopping for a new one!

I think that many of us are still reluctant to buy a hybrid vehicle because the technology is still relatively new and the initial cost is significantly higher than a non-hybrid model. However, it’s inevitable that the Roadsters and Hummers of today are soon to be replaced with the Priuses and Mini Coopers. I only wish I could fit into a Mini Cooper because I too love that car!
