This week I was thinking it is almost time to buy another car. Unfortunately, I drive around 130 miles per day. I know not very "green". I want to purchase something efficient and "green friendly", but I don't have an unlimited budget. So I test drove a Honda Fit, rated with 34 miles per gallon on the highway and $13,500 price tag. My local dealer happened to have two to chose from, both bright red in color. One a standard shift with the lower sticker of approx. $14,600 and the automatic shift with approx. sticker of $16,500. Of course, they are small but with an extended top and a hatchback. They rode a little rough, reminding me of the Civic. But, for the price a good deal. I did prefer the standard shift over the automatic (putting your foot into it was a little slow and rough). This is just my first look around. Currently I get 29 miles to the gallon with over 100,000 miles on my 2001 Toyoto Camry. I'm going to look into the E85 fuel products and hybrids for a future purchase. However, which will prevail, plugins, hybrids or alternative fuels?
