And that was the one thing that kept me from buying a Hybrid. Seriously. Most of my driving (90-95% of it) is city driving and a hybrid would have probably yielded HUGE gas savings for me. Of course, trailering is right out, then. :lol:
I don't have a garage and winter temps routinely dip below -30C before windchill here in North Bay. In those conditions, year after year... hybrid FAIL. :(
