Ask Dr. Helen: Are Hybrid Owners All That…?

My husband and I drive two cars interchangeably. Instead of the cars fitting us, we simply drive the best one for the situation. We have a beautiful Cadillac Escalade that we use primarily on long trips where comfort is key, when we are pulling our travel trailer, or when we need to carry a lot of people. It gets far better gas mileage than most people imagine. 18-20 on the highway, which is where we drive it mostly. For around town we have a wonderful little Saturn Vue (not the hybrid) that is good on MPG and very easy to drive and park. People can make of it what they will, but we just buy cars that suit our life and that we think are going to last a long time.
