Greetings from So Cal...I drive as much as 300 -- 400 miles a week in outside sales...currently drive a 2000 Ford Explorer to haul what I need for my job...getting hammered by the ever increasing pump prices...been surveying the alternative fuel vehicle landscape to see how I could make a positive impact both in terms of my monthly outlay for fuel and on the environment....Civic is too small....12 passenger van is too big...looking for options...glad this forum is here!
