My wife’s vehicle is 16 years old, but it only has 65,000 miles on it. Bulletproof engine. One of the better ones ever produced. That said, I still wonder if we shouldn’t get a replacement with a newer ICE vehicle.

Maybe yes while you still can.

I’m looking at a vehicle purchase, and am weighing ICE vs. hybrid. Also concerned about ability to get either if Dems maintain power.

I’m leaning more towards a plug in hybrid, especially if you have rooftop solar.
My wife’s daily drive is less than 50 miles, so she can run on battery-only most of the time, and can easily be fully recharged each night for free with the solar credit from the utility.
Longer trips, she can use the gas, get great mileage and no range anxiety.

Get it before 2026, when new regs require 40 mpg fleet average, more tracking and computer in the cars.
