(34,139 posts)My husband's Prius V, bought when he was still commuting into town regularly. Two years ago I bought a Honda Fit. Not hybrid or electric but it gets nearly as good mileage as the Prius. I've only put about 1300 miles on it so it isn't using much gas at all.
Then there is our 1999 GMC 2500 Suburban, bought when we were still hauling horses around the Southeast. We no longer do that, but every so often we need to haul big stuff around. It's paid for so we're keeping it. It will be a race which will die first, the Suburban or us. It only has 170,000 miles on it so I suspect it will win. (Our previous Suburban probably had close to 500,000 miles on it before it died , but it only lived seventeen years.) The GMC gets all of 13 miles to the gallon, no matter if it is completely empty or hauling a big load.
