a buddy of mine who works at philly car share (a pretty big eco friendly car rental thing in philly) was telling me about this mind you he drives a h/c GTO.
They are ditching all the prius's they have and buying vert miatas/minis and bmws etc. The replacement batteries that fail on the hybrids are on national backorder too. And another thing is if the battery fails the whole car cant be used since the hybrid system runs everything.
and i usually spend roughly 80-120 a week on gas.
