My two cents on vehicles...

2001 Lexus RX300 SUV 4X4 w/towing capacity of 3,500 lbs (same as a Toyota Highlander). Seats four very comfortably. Acceleration - fast and surrounded by two tons of metal/plastic/leather and air bags.

24 mpg highway, 20 mpg in town and 16 mpg pulling a 4,000 lb boat around the Tampa area. Mileage was 15% worse in Chicago when using a 10% ethanol blend.

Why would you want to own a hybrid when for a few less mpg, you can drive a comfortable station wagon with towing capacity.

Will never sell it and plan for it to live through peak oil ;)
