I drove from Amarillo, Texas, to Northern Colorado on a single tank of gas.
Approximately 500 miles of driving with a slightly overfilled tank, averaging 41 mpg, in our Civic Hybrid.

I am sold on hybrids. :thumbsup:

9. Hello...
Hey, I'm starting another writing class on Wed., so I'm probably going to be a little absent in here for the next several weeks.

Talk to you later.

4. I want a hybrid car ... because what you did is amazing.
There is a comedian by the name of Katt Williams - during one of his skits he talks about gas and how sometimes we have to make life decisions before we pump gas. He goes while at the pump sometimes he thinks to himself "Damn did I eat today?" - that is so true for some of us. I hate rising gas prices.

5. There were sections in the Texas panhandle...
where midgrade gas was at 2.90/gallon. Think about it... 2 gallons of gas or a basic meal from a fast food restaurant priced at about six dollars. Multiply that by the average size of a gas tank (12-15 gallons)... that means that you have to decide between a tank of gas or six individual meals. :(
