Please send a message privately with your contacts.

Or did you look at both hybrids and gasoline vehicles?<br /> When you bought your hybrid did you think about how much it would cost to replace the batteries?<br /> Does the money that you save on gas justify buying a hybrid considering the cost of a new hybrid?<br /> How many miles do you drive every year? (Just a rough estimate)<br /> How often do you change your oil?<br /> How often do you check your tire pressure?<br /> How old are you? (optional)<br /> What gender?
