We’ve gone GREEN!

We bit the bullet yesterday and got a new car! Well, a newer car – we purchased a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid and I love this car! We got rid of Eileen’s gas guzzling SUV in favor of the fuel economy and sportiness of the HCH. So far, the gas gauge reads 40.2 MPG average – we’ll see how well that stands the test of time, but our old SUV was at 16.7 MPG! I’ll take the 40.2 or even 37… heck I’d take 30!! When I think about how much we’ve blown on gas this past summer (past year, nevermind) we just couldn’t justify keeping the SUV anymore… here are some pics! Oh, and YES that’s leather!

P.S. Thanks to Paula for her info on what NOT to buy – I had always thought the VW was a good choice in cars – now I know better!!

Glad I could help! And I’m so jealous. It looks beautiful. And now that you get such great gas mileage, it’s time to take a drive to Eastford!!
