This is only HALF of the problem that gas went up.....
As President Bush, ordered a release of the crude oil at the Alaska reservuars, this crude will be distributed to gas companies at NO cost, BUT these gas companies WILL HAVE TO pay back to government for this "FREE" crude oil when oil refining on east coast is gonna stabilize again. THIS MEANS that gas prices WILL go even higher as, where do you think gas companies will get the money to pay for "free" crude oil.........
Senate or whoever else, is taking a stand and will be starting an investigation very shortly regarding this total gas price BS. So lets hope these smart asses WILL make gas prices go down.
As far as hybrid cars go, yea as some of you notticed in past few months of gas price spikes, car companies started coming out with various types of hybrid cars....i.e. Ford just came out with Ford Escape Hybrid, then Toyota is shortly coming out with a Tacoma hybrid option, all known honda hybrids already took a good stand in the market, Toyota Prius hybrid estimates at 60/51/55 city/highway/combined, accordingly and Im sure rest of hybrids are in those numbers also.
I think that I will definetly own a hybrid car as a 2nd car....most likely an SUV for family purposes, but as far as the cost of the hybrids, its been said that they are 1/3 more expensive than their regular gasoline powered versions. Toyota Echo for example was quoted 2 yearsago at around 23-24k dollars.....at least thats what I was quoted at
and for the hell of it, gas price in my area ranges from 2.99 to 3.89 for REGULAR. ******* A!
