Lindsey i have recently bought the Toyota Auris HSD Hybrid, its just slightly smaller car than the Prius. It is fantastic, i am getting 60 mpg, and it is so nice to drive too.
Our fuel prices are horrendous at the moment i have just filled up my 45 litre tank and it was £1.47 per litre, last week it was only £1.37. We have a threat of a tanker drivers strike, and it has caused panic buying at the petrol stations. What with the sad state the economy is in at the moment, it is putting a big strain on everyone.

You know what pisses me off
 The people that work in the oil business. My ex works for an oil company an one time we were driving and he said "S**t the gas price is down" I said, good we need that. And he said it wasn't good for the company. The higher the gas price the more promotions they get from there already wealthy asses. Well I just came back from Oklahoma City and gas over there is 3.65, Huntsville, TX it was 3.74 and here in Houston any where from 3.74 to 4 something. |

It's still over $4 here. I don't like putting money in the tank!

Diane.....your price is by the LITER!!! Wow!! That's pretty expensive!!! Thank heaven's you're getting such great gas mileage!! I've not heard of that kind of Toyota in the states. I have a friend that has the Prius and she raved about it.
We drive a Tahoe and I can tell you that our gas mileage is horrible but for us to drive anything smaller just wouldn't work. We use ours so much to haul things and it really is another farm vehicle. Janet, your husband is a mechanic......why don't you ask him to invent something just for us to extend our gas mileage......oh to about.....200 mpg!!! You know it CAN be done!!

I know...he should really do something about it!!! I've always told him that he should make a car come when I call it so I don't have to try and find it in a parking lot!! lol.

We don't have that car here either!! Our gas is around $1.30/litre right now. We spend about $60 a week commuting to the city for work, and double that if we go visit either of our parents on the weekend!
