Cost Perspective

We took our son to MCO last night in our new Hybrid. Round Trip was total 136 Miles and we used 3 Gallons of gas @ $2.76/gal = $8.28 round trip.

Son got luggage buggy to take in bags. Cost $7 at terminal C. I get buggy for a quarter at Aldi's and even get my quarter back.

(I know I have not included tolls and use of car depreciation)

Two points - Hybrid autos can be a good investment option. Airport buggies are far better.
