Geez. Where do you go every day?

In Northern Virginia, there is another cost to factor into your hybrid benefit matrix: time. Up until June 1st 2006, a hybrid qualified for special licence plates that exempted you from HOV restrictions. In the heavily congested 95 and 66 corridors, this could save you an hour or more a day in sitting in traffic.

That has much greater value than a few gallons of gas each week.

My job. I own my own truck and drive about 1200 to 1500 miles in a 5 day work week. I know it is that mush because I have to get oil change every six thousand miles which happens about every four to five weeks.

I live right across from the General Motors Technical Center in Warren,MI and we have 2 E85 stations within a mile and 18 in the Metro Detroit Area. Right now the price is $1.95 a gallon. If you calculate fuel mileage through and all that, you really don't save much. Although at the pump it's 10 cents less than regular, fuel economy is worse.

Just dropping some info.

P.S. I am planning on getting an E85 SUV soon (not for the savings since their is none, but just to be cleaner)
