We just got rid of a big gas guzzling truck in March, along with our RV, when we sold our home up north. We really wanted to reduce our carbon footprint for our move to TV. Along with our electric golf cart we wanted to buy a hybrid. We really, really wanted to. But there were none to be had in a price range we could afford. All incoming deliveries were presold. There were a few models on the lot if we wanted to spend in the $50k range. We didn’t. So we bought a little Hyundai Venue. We are averaging 37 mpg driving around locally, and 44 on the highway. Electric vehicle technology and support would need to improve greatly before we would ever consider it. Probably won’t happen in our lifetime. So, we drive our little electric cart when we can, and don’t feel bad about our very fuel efficient car the rest of the time.
