Hiya, Ben. Got a solution for ya. My plug in hybrid RAV4 uses about $40 dollars in gas every two months and about $30 in electricity per month. We drive 13000 miles per year or so.

Yesterday’s gas prices are gone, and if you believe in TLE, it is going to get worse and never better.

Insanity = Gimme state.

I have tried Hybrids I don't like the way the couple I have tried drove.

I love my Toyota 4runner and take it deep into the desert to places I doubt most hybrids could make it to.

One of them was the American Girl mine last week that dirt road was nasty rutted out and pot holed I watched one hybrid get stuck several times it was just to low and heavy.

Everyone loves their car/truck/van for its fit in their lifestyle. TLE tells us that changes are coming as oil is diminishing. Your trip sounds great. I would not want to try the RAV on that road. Long ago, I owned a CJ5 and did tons of back roads with it, I loved it.

Hey John Socrates asked a question I don't know.

The clover on your avatar makes us a little different than the average clusterfucker.

Do you pay a little bit to Jim?

Not asking for specifics but I have wondered what it was as well.
