Checking the family records, we spent about $3300 for gas over the last 3 years, for 2 cars. Obviously, we don't get out much and I have a short drive to work.
The Leaf won't save me any money driving around town. 100 miles just barely covers a round trip to Olympia or one way to our nearest relatives.
The Leaf might make sense in Europe, where fuel prices are triple what we pay, put the numbers don't work for me.

Ouch! Too high for this tightwad. I was thinking about $50/month.

Maybe they should make leasing the batteries an option but I suppose that will push the price of buying the car/batteries way up out of range.

But interesting development anyway. Hope they keep working on it and develop longer-range batteries soon.

I was unclear. There's no guarantee that in 3 years it'll still be $150.

The smart thing to do is raise the tax on fuel to the equivalent of what Europeans pay and take that money to "green" America.

That would take political balls though.

Gotcha..."is" threw me off.

The numbers don't make sense for us, either.
We'd have to be "forced" to buy one.
