Gas Mileage over hyped?
It seems that everyone is really obsessed with how many miles per gallon a hybrid car gets...But I was listening to CarTalk on NPR and the weekly puzzler opened my eyes. We shouldn't be looking for MPG, instead we should be looking at MPG per person.
Here is the answer to the puzzler on NPR.
So basically if you are going to use all the seats in a larger vehicle to capacity, then the larger vehicle may have the same or higher MPG per person as one of the high mileage hybrids...So use the larger vehicle when it counts...
