On the other hand, I drive a 1987 Honda CRX Si that I bought from the original owner for $1200, is in great condition, and is very satisfying. It only gets a consistent 35 mpg if I drive it like an adult, and 33 mpg if I drive it like a kid. It currently has 285,000 miles on it, and is acting like it might run forever, so I guess I will keep it.</p> That’s great!

Though some studies have shown that the energy saved during the lifetime of a hybrid doesn’t generally balance out the extra energy required to manufacture it, I’m sure that either it’s really not as big a deal as the studies have made it out ot be or it will become less of an issue in the future.

Gas efficiency of my conventional 2003 Honda Civic for reference.
