AKICLJ: fuel efficient vehicles

[laramie]

It's time for me to think about replacing my old '91 Buick Century, which seems to need a new repair every time I turn around.

I'm thinking about hybrids and bio-fuel and wondering if others have any ideas/input on finding a relatively 'green' vehicle. I need something with some hauling capacity (I'd like to bring art/dealer panels & gear to conventions) and the only hybrid I've seen along those lines is the Toyota Highlander, which is an SUV and PRICEY.

Thank you. That's interesting about the hybrids.

I've got a lot of gear when I go to conventions: it pretty well filled up the cargo area of a full size station wagon, so I'm not sure a hatchback would do it. Right now I'm looking at the Toyota Matrix, which seems to be an actual wagon, with good mileage.

Check cubic feet of storage, but I suspect that you would need more space than the coupe version... I originally wanted a station waggon, but couldn't find one with milage I liked (this was some years ago.)
