The smartest thing my husband and I have done is buy a hybrid. We bought it a week ago and we have averaged 49 mpg on the first tank! It is going to lower our fuel budget tremendously.My husband commutes about 50 miles each way to work...that's the price you pay for living in the country I guess. But, I drove a Dodge Ram and it was killing me to fill it up. Last week we made the decision to trade the truck for a Toyota Prius. My husband will use that for commuting and I get his Dodge Caliber. Not a bad trade. We would have loved to buy American, but there really was no competition. No American car could match the mpg of the Prius.
