doh! actually, i'm canadian. i originally put domestic by itself, then thought i would clarify it by adding american. in hindsight, i should have just put (north) american, but now i can't edit it!

Just got a Honda Civic hybrid. After spending 5 years driving the van back and forth to drop zones from 45 to 350 miles away, I figured I'd get something that didn't use much gas (and this thing gets 50+ mpg highway.)

Too bad my truck can't do that, I average about 14-15mpg on the highway...but then again, I can pull a pretty big/heavy trailer. but I was doing 80mph and my truck didn't even blink)

Congrats BIll. You finally did it. I would have thought it would get more than 50 mpg though? Still much better than my old Mustang though

Neat cars......let me know how it works out in the long run. I am a little suprised at the 50+ MPG. I saw an add for a VW Golf last night that got 42 MPG Highway. I would have expected a car that small with hybrid technology to do a little better. Oh well......these are some of the "first" production cars of their type. I'm sure they will improve in the next few years.

I have a soccer mom van. I like having that bench seat in the back, it comes in handy.

Audi S3, its cool, but I bought it for my sweetie, I drive rentals when I'm over here...

Golfs have been around for over a decade dude, what model was it. That mpg (American gallons I'm assuming right?)sounds like a GTi which goes like shit off a shovel, and sticks to the road like manure to a blanket, sweet wee cars......

LOL. You seem to have a fascination with fecal matter.

The Insight gets about 75mpg with the same electric motor/smaller gas motor, but it only holds 2 people and I have more crap than would fit in the back. One of the reasons I got this instead of the Insight is that it looks no different from a regular Civic - back seat, good sized trunk etc.

I drive a Citroen berlingo, a french van, about 2 months old.
I barely get the maximum highway speed (120 km/hr) and it empties a tank in 600 km, It take slike hours to get on speed, and to be completely honest, it's UGLY.
My previous car ( a Seat Ibiza 1.9 TDI 110hp) got speeds up to 220 km/hr, glued me in my chair and was a quite good chick-magnet.
I like the Citroen better!
Why????
1) Room enough for a matrass in the back, great for those after-skydive booze moments when you start thinking about meeting police on the way home with very little blood in your alcohol!
2) It's all paid for: purchase, taxes, insurance and gas, thank you Coca Cola enterprises Belgium!!!

Ok, since everyone else is putting down what they drive: 1998 Chevy k1500 Z-71 Extended Cab. Maroon (what else ). Unfortunately it sits a little low to the ground, but someday that'll be fixed...

The Civic Hybrid is pretty conventional looking on the exterior and pretty conventional in the cabin. I guess too many folks just aren't ready to go the Insight route. Randy Jackson, a fellow Perris jumper, has one and it has been described as "chick repellent", but I'm considering one for my next car purchase -- probably a few years away. Unfortunately, they still don't offer it in white, which is kind of required from my point of view.
Oh, currently driving a 1995 Saturn SC-2 -- just about to turn 100,000. Lifetime average of almost exactly 30 mpg. Mileage would be much better if I didn't drive quite as fast as I normally do.

I drive a 1988 Nissan truck. It is white with some orange-rust colored highlighting . Gets about 50 mpq (of oil, abut 20 mpg gas) and I'm getting a small tax break from the city for fogging these damned Arkansas mosquitos. No one has ever accused me of being car proud.

Boy this was a hot potato issue a few months back. I got in so much shit for driving an SUV. Anyway I have since redeemed myself. A month ago I traded my 2001 Acura MDX for a 2002 Acura RSX. I actually traded down. The dealer had to give me a check!!! Also...Billvon...I now get 33mpg!!!

Yeah they are. Until I got my '00 Pontiac Grand Am, I didn't know that cars weren't suppose to smoke, leak all fluids, not work in the winter, lose their transmissions....
