Hybrid Blogging

My Saturn Vue hybrid needed gas today. I got 21.4 MPG, which is becoming the "short haul" in-town average for me. I do drive a bit agressively, and the weather in Chicago has been "air conditioning on high" for most of this last tank.

21 still beats the hell out of 15, especially with gas at $3.40 a gallon.

I have no dog in the hybrid vs regular car thing. If there is such a thing. However I gotta point out that my 2007 Kia Rondo gets 30 MPG (average). We've had it for four months, driving mostly in a small city, with several 'cross the state' trips.

Good mileage. I've been getting 32 highway. My dad and two uncles retired from General Motors, so unless I want to get disowned, I buy GM.
