   I can't see the sense in anything other than a hybrid unless you only   
   drive around town and never use a car for long trips. At some point my   
   wife and I are going to go one long, long driving trips, alternating   
   between tent camping, moderately priced motels and the occasional neat,   
   quirky or historic hotel. I want to mostly stay off the Interstates   
   unless we're going through the mountains. Short driving days on two lane   
   roads when practical is appealing.
