...Most consumers who come to showrooms aren’t shopping for electric cars, and with gasoline prices relatively low, even hybrid models can be a tough sell, dealers and industry analysts say...

We started looking for a new car last fall, but when the election results came in suddenly switched to a hybrid.

With Biden at the helm, 32 mpg sounded like it was worth more than with Trump as President. Full electric is not in the cards for DW -- she does not like charging batteries even on her phone.

But when gas prices go up, or even when there is rationing, a high mpg vehicle is a good deal.

I get the next new car in a few years, and electric may be OK for me.

I would love to get a new hybrid vehicle, but I get between 32 and 36mpg now... and the car is paid for. The Ford escape hybrid is very nice.
