AKICLJ: fuel efficient vehicles

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.

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.)
