Biofuels - seriously? I mean, it costs more to produce and it cuts back on how much food is produced. So in essence, you'll be paying more for food. Plus, the mpg is less than regular gas so you'll actually pay more per gallon. And the carbon footprint to produce this stuff is very high.

I recently pruchased a new Camry hybrid. I've been getting 35-36 mpg and got 37.7 mpg over 750 miles on a recent trip. Hybrids don't have the premium price any more so I got it at the same amount I would have paid for a regular 6 cylinder. Rides like a dream and very quiet and you operate it just like a regular car.
