Four Cylinder and Hybrid Cars will be the Fad in 2012

I just drove past my neighborhood gas station.  It’s an ARCO station and is about eight to ten cents less than other major brands.  The price has gone up four cents from yesterday.  The new price for regular is $3.73 9/10 per gallon.

ABC News had an item on its nightly report saying that the price of a gallon could reach $5.00 in some cities.  Specifically named were Chicago and San   Francisco.  Their web site confirms that prediction.

Our new car is a four cylinder Nissan Altima.  It has a promise of 23 MPG city and 32 MPG highway.  Most of our driving will be on city streets.  The Prius V will is rated at 42 MPG in the city, and 38 on the highway.  The next door neighbors have a new Chevrolet Tahoe.  It has an EPA-estimated 15 MPG city, 21 highway.

I am looking forward to a new Prius V!

One thought on “Four Cylinder and Hybrid Cars will be the Fad in 2012

  1. In the past few years, development, production, and demand for hybrid cars has increased at an enormous rate. While the cars currently on the market may already seem like technological masterpieces, the car companies are continuing to develop and improve new vehicles with features that improve fuel efficiency, performance and appearance. These future hybrid cars utilize the best in our available technology to create cars that will appeal to a vast array of people. While many car manufacturers are designing future hybrid cars to be high performance, sporty vehicles, the greatest increase in purchasing and production of hybrid cars has been in sedans, coupes, and SUVs, particularly in hybrid versions of cars that already exist. So, while it’s possible that cars will continue to bear a distinctive, futuristic, “hybrid” look, the most likely scenario is that future hybrid cars will look pretty much the same as non-hybrid cars.,
