Default I drive a natural gas Civic

h: I get a "company" car, and it's a natural gas Civic. I don't know how many places give interns company cars, but this one does.

The CVT is lovely. I don't know why more cars don't have them. The only gripe is that in "drive" it is awfully lethargic, but "s" (sport? lulz) it is a little perk monster. It goes down hill fantastically in low, keeping whatever speed I want to the bottom of the power plant.

I want this car.

I don't know. We also have Hybrid Escapes. They're not as roomy as my dad's CR-V. Shrug.

Oh and some EV Rav4s.

I found a pretty good Article
http://www.popsci.com/cars/article/2...guzzler?page=1


Phill is roughly $4,000, the final cost to consumers can be significantly lower, because (depending on where you live) state and federal tax credits can offset or even completely cover the initial purchase price. Similar tax credits can offset the incremental cost of the natural-gas technology in the Civic, bringing the $24,000 purchase price-again, depending on your state-down to below that of the entry-level Civic's $16,000 sticker.
