I just saw in the news they don't see gas prices going down ever again. This really sucks.
I went to gas up, at this place called american gas, and they had a $50.00 max on the credit card.
I was abit confused, droved off. then I realized I could have swiped my cc again or use a second one to finish filling up my bmw.
oh well. I am seriously thinking of getting the honda Insight for a commuter car.
it's looks are growing on me, my coworker has one and I do like the form follows function design of the insight. the hidden rear wheels to cut thru the wind. the low co-efficient to slice thru and all the cute stuff. The tires are so small, I have to see if there are any options when it coes to replacement. They have sparkplugs unique to the car as well. Eachspark plug whole has a stamp A, B or C, so that when you get the plugs you have to get the right ones for each of the 3 cyclenders, this is prabal to have the tip point in the right directions for optimum spark. Maybe a BOSCHE Platium +4 would do the trick. it's hard to find one in CA, with prices over 4 dollars easily. and the insight doesn't come with AC by default. Another thing is weither I should go with the automatic CVT tranny or the 5 speed stick. I like driving stick but in a hybrid I fail to see the point of shifting since you're not really going to enjoy driving it in the same way you would a sporting saden. Getting an Insight with the HOV stickers would be a bonus too.
We'll have to see if I can budget one in. One more thing I see is the hybrids generally have higher mileage then normal since that is one of the purpose of buying one, for the long daily commute.
