Just filled up yesterday and it was $2.51 a gallon here in Va. My 2 trucks get 17 and 21 MPG respectively, and that’s fine. At $4 I’d think hybrid also. Well maybe, lol. I still have that mental block about them

I have friends who drive responsible vehicles and it is by choice not by financial need. Not for me. For me, my car is a part of who I am and I am not the hybrid/electric car person. I am not slamming the people that are it is just not for me. I live close to center city in my area and don't drive a lot of miles but it would not slow me down if gas was $10 a gallon. I always get a kick out of the lists that tell what kind of person you are by what you drive. Some truth to it I believe.

Think I'd rather drive the Vette

I love my plug in hybrid.

2.3 liter per hundred KM or about 100 MPG

Hate to throw this in here (but I will anyway) my Tesla uses zero gas and goes zero to sixty in 2.5 seconds.

Been driving a Tesla for 4 years.

Have you averaged out your actual fuel economy over a tank of gas? Sometimes those on-board computers are overly optimistic.

I had a Camry hybrid XLE that I liked very much. I would average about 38mpg in mixed driving and that was with the A/C blasting and my overly heavy right foot. Best I ever saw over one tank of gas was 48mpg and I was really trying hard to get the best out of it.

9 MPG! I thought my 11 was bad!

You’re almost 25% worse.

I say burn those dinosaurs!!!! V8 all the way baby!!!!

My V8 Corvette gets 30mpg on highway @ 70mph, and around 20mpg city driving. Gas is $3.25 a gallon.
I drive conservatively, so that’s economical enough for me.

Porsche's Tesla competitor, previously called Mission E, is now the Porsche Taycan. It's coming in 2020.

https://www.popularmechanics.com/car...on-e-electric/

I'm considering this "Electric Car"

I spoke to Porsche and they are taking orders NOW!

Update, August 2018:

Porsche just released some new specs about the upcoming Taycan electric car. As expected the electric sedan will make more than 600 horsepower in total system power and come with 800-volt charging capability, which will give the car enough juice to go 400 km. (248 mi.) in just 15 minutes of charging. Overall, Porsche proclaims an electric range of 500 km. (about 310 mi.) and a 0-100 kph time of three and a half seconds.

Porsche says it has built "three figures" worth of Taycan prototypes altogether.

My Lexus CT hybrid is pretty economical, to be fair though it’s a 2 mile round trip to work and back everyday. Longest I’ve gone without refuelling my car was around 3 months. Go figure lol
