Our 1998 Camry is going strong. ~24mpg

And, last year we bought a new ICE Civic for $22k it averages 33mpg according to its computer.

I have friend who bought a Leaf in Seattle. She was always jonesing for a charge because her apartment didn't have access to power in the parking lot. Nor did her workplace. Not sure what she was thinking.

Haha...hopefully she lives in Seattle proper and gets electricity from Seattle City Light which is almost all hydro. If she lives in the grater metropolitan area and is on Puget Sound Energy, her Leaf is mostly coal powered.
