Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / March 2006What would be the best/most reliable gas mileage car these days?
Hi, new to this group. I've googled my question and came up with 1.2 million answers, but nothing really matching the question I have. I'm in the market for a new car and was looking at the high bred, gas-electric type. I'm wondering if the group has an overall favorite with dependability also in mind. It's for my wife and i'm not sure but I think she drives it across country while i'm sleep (lol), She racks up miles like mad (drives me nuts). She would like a hatchback if they make them in that type. Thanks in advance, zTim How many miles is "like mad?" Does she carry a tuba? Does she weigh 3 bills or 105#? How long will it be kept? How much is dity driving? etc.,etc.,etc. You may have Googled and seen 1.2 million answers, but you read none of them. > Hi, new to this group.

The little one, which I believe he calls the Insight (or maybe Incite?;>) is a two seater, looks like an armadillo, and - he claims - can get up to about 80 miles per gallon when driven optimally. (And that does not mean slowly, apparently.) The other one, a larger car, can seat about 4 1/2 people, and is very nice. It can get 48-54 miles per gallon with judicious driving. Others are coming, including SUV type vehicles I understand. I probably wouldn't buy one of them. There will be a tradeoff, eventually, in battery replacements, etc, and they are not really cheap as they stand. You can get a good conventional car that will get you close to 35 mpg, and I believe that is what I will opt for, next time. > Hi, new to this group.

A comparable gas engine equipped car will cost several thousand dollars less so the financial benefit is probably not be as big as the milage figures might make it appear. > Thanks in advance, > > zTim Thanks H...@nospam, i'll check into the Honda's! zTim |
