[Mrtoycrazy]

I'm not buying an Elio to save money but to use less gas.

Which cost money.

Paid $2.31 for regular on Monday here in Las Cruces. AAA believes gas will drop another 20 cents per gallon by the first of the year. Still makes the Elio an economical vehicle and I am looking forward to driving mine

If the question is gas, yes, it cost money. Less gas ,cost less,as more gas, cost more. And sooner than later less gas will cost more.

A local place is now sub $2 gasoline. I am a mega commuter but my car runs on cheaper propane so the decreased price does not influence me much. Gasoline prices need to get down to $1.10 per gallon for me to be indifferent.

I have been considering the Elio for fuel economy reasons but that economic benefit seems to be dwindling away for me. I already have a small fleet of cars/trucks/motorcycles that I use and not sure I need to add a 10th vehicle to my fleet of vehicles that I insure and maintain.

I was on the fence about buying a Elio and retro fitting it to run on propane as well and using it for my 110 mile daily round trip commute. My commuter car now has 200K miles and I have no immediate plans to retire it.

I guess I will wait for them to launch and hopefully buy one on the used market...

First of all, welcome to the forum imabass!

Sounds like you've got a nice "box of toys" (9 vehicles)! What's one more?

In an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020, California state legislators passed a gas tax law known as AB 32. Starting in 2015, the law’s penalty on carbon emissions will apply to all cars and trucks in the state, meaning that everyone who fills up will pay more. Exactly how much more? Nobody knows yet. It could be as high as 50 cents per gallon with at least a 15-cent increase, beginning in 2015
