i drive by three gas stations on the way to work and last night's lowest for regular was 79.5, i thought it was pretty good?

how much was the regular at the sunoco?

Was driving home monday and saw regular at 79.90. I had enough for another day so I thought prices would drop mid-week. Boy was I wrong I was running on fumes this morning so I had to fill up at 87.9 for regular. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe we should look at getting more efficient cars, i know that there are a bunch of hybrids that are coming out and I think thats only the begining. I am dreading paying for the high prices of gas when I go back home to BC in april.........

It's nice to finally see hybrids look like normal cars (ie. civic), however, how much do you have to drive before you see it as a worthy investment (~$16,000 civic VS ~$27,000 hybrid civic). From the specs, you'd also be losing about 30HP and only saving approximately 3-4L/100KM. Don't know about maintenance costs, but I'd assume fixing a hybrid could potentially be more costly due to newer technology etc.

I asked a guy at the auto show how much the big ass dry cell battery is in a hybrid?...its like almost $10,000 ...I would be timid in buying a used hybrid unless the warranty on that battery is like 10years or so...For now diesel would be the way to go.

Ford Escape Hybrid battery is ~$6500.

Unique Hybrid components such as the High Voltage Battery, Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission, and DC/DC converter will have an additional warranty coverage of 8 years/ 100,000 miles (10 years, 150,000 miles in PZEV states were required by law).
