It's obvious who is the brains of the outfit: <Husband wanted to get a new Prius to save money on gas but I talked him into keeping his paid-for Subaru. Son was also thinking about a Prius but I talked him into keeping his paid-for Toyota Tacoma. No car payment is cheaper than low gas mileage > Maybe the real reason was not to save money but to have a fashionable object or be in the "right" social club. Or trying to justify a new car. Those who think themselves "green" go for image over substance. Do they think they are "Green" and care for the environment? 20 years ago [last August] I met an electrical engineer [from Qualcomm] and his father at a social function. The father was keen to get an electric car "for the environment". I explained that he would achieve far more by buying TWO fuel-efficient new gasoline cars [for the same price], then going for a drive in one to find a poor young guy with a smokey old large car and offering to swap cars, then taking the old car to the scrap yard, catching a taxi home. He would have a car that would actually work, and well. The young guy would be thrilled. Mqurice
