I’ve got a secret
I have been wanting to post this since Monday. No worries — I am not pregnant and nobody here needs a medical bracelet or anything like that. Since my husband has had to work late the last two night, we haven’t had a chance to go do this yet. Figured it out yet? Well, I’ve blogged about it and asked everyone to tell my husband why we should get one of these. No idea, yet? Well, Bill decided (unless he changes his mind again which then I will have to kill him) that we are going to go put a deposit down on a Prius! We test drove my sister’s car. My only complaints have to do with things that I will just have to get use to. As soon as we put our deposit down, then we go on a 4-6 month waiting list. Unfortunately, we don’t get it right away, but it’ll allow us some time to save. I really didn’t want two car payments at the same time, but what are you going to do? The Jeep’s 20 miles per gallon is killing us when gas is so darn expensive.
Toyota
You know, Toyota must be doing something right. Everyone I know has recently been heading out to their dealer lot (either local or to Toyota Corolla Virginia). Toyota has done something that it seems like our American dealers can’t or won’t — give us cars with high gas mileage. My sister and her husband own a Prius and regularly get 50 miles to the gallon (yes, 50 miles per gallon!). My cousin and her husband own two Toyota Corollas. They have told us that they are the best cars they have even owned (hence why they own two of them). They get awesome gas mileage, and the cars can take a beating and keep going. They have used their Corollas when they both had huge commutes. Now, they have moved closer to their jobs and have less of a commute, and they still rave about their cars.
Bill and I have started looking at vehicles that get better has mileage than our Jeep Liberty. I think Bill figured out that we are spending around $500 a month in gas! I know, it makes me sick too. We need something that gets better than 20 miles per gallon. I think a Toyota car may be our answer.
