Re: Hybrid Cars

How do you have such few miles on a car 7 years old?

I either walked to work or drove about 5 miles roundtrip, and DH bikes to work. Later, as a SAHM who lives near most everything we wanted to do, I didn't have to drive far. I drive more now, taking DD to her school, than I have since I taught school in Los Angeles, I think.

Our other car is about 11.5 years old and has just under 60,000 miles on it, if I recall.

Wow, that is great!!I stay at home too, but I just seem to drive to the store everyday. I really need to plan my trips better.

Re: Hybrid Cars

Hi,

I just got here (logged on for about an hour now) and the Prius question has intrigued me also; first thing - I would wait until the crush is over, I mean used Prii (Priuses?) sell for more than a new one, this makes no sense at all. I heard there is a mod out that allows you recharge the Prius batteries from household current, which should up the mpg. The other thing, in order for purchasing a new car to make sense, you have to keep it for at least 10 years (my personal calculation, not official). I bought a brand new car in '88 and I still have it - it is a Toyota Corola All-trak with almost 200k miles.

Oops, I walked away for awhile - I had better post this.
