10 October

Had to re-jig an earlier post because I’d badly mis-remembered the price difference between a standard petrol and a hybrid. Using Toyota as an example, and a larger 7-seater. I thought it was about $10K. You can see here right now it’s only about $2600. You’d save more than that in under a year in reduced fuel bills. The hybrid will make you easily $20,000+ better off over the lifetime of the car. And it will be a much better drive, maximum torque across the full speed range. I have one of these (Kluger hybrid), and it has the same fuel economy as a Toyota Corolla or other small car. But more power and acceleration than a V6.
