Realized that with my new job I’m at $500/month for gas. Starting to seriously consider a hybrid or electric but damn they expensive. Either way might just need something more reliable than my 320k+ car.

Whatchya driving, do you like it, and why?

I drive a 2000 Honda Insight. It's pretty cool.

Pro: good gas mileage, manual transmission, cheap maintenance, comfy seats. I can go ~700mi on a tank. Costs me $40 to fill. I fill it maybe 8-10 times a year assuming no road trips. It's about 60-70MPG.

Cons: slowest car I have ever driven so I have to plan merging onto highways/motorways very precisely. Literally my only complaint.

I like that car. It's pretty neat.

Edit:

Another con: it only has two seats. Doesn't hurt my use cases where I generally drive solo, or at most with my love, but for some that may pose an issue. (Think about it, though, most people who drive only drive themselves, generally to and from work.)
