Fortunetely (or unfortuntely, depending on how you look at it) these hybrid cars are coming out and starting to look more and more like their non-hybrid siblings. Now this is actually a good thing since looks won't be a factor in picking between the hybrid vs. non-hybrid version but as it stands the hybrids still don't pack the punch that the others do...except in the case of the Honda Accord Hybrid. The thing has some 240 Horsepower but since it's that strong it's mpg has gone to about half of what the other not so powerful cars can do. I personally think that it's so pointless to raise the cars power and lower the mileage...it kinda defeats the purpose. Granted it's still better then the non-hybrid version but why sacrifice a majority of the cars existence just to be able to go slightly faster. But yeah...things are gonna have to be changed around a lot...and who knows...maybe we'll even see less SUV's on the road these days. Hehe, no more taking out the H2 to pick up little Johnny from his friends house a block away. |

With the price-rise planned for the start of May, we're going to see a nifty price of 6.4 NIS (~1.43 USD) per Liter over here.
The "car" part of me getting a drivers license in the next few months? Just got replaced with a "motorcycle". In retrospect, it was a good thing that I didn't get my licensed, and a mandatory 2nd hand car, along with my friends a year or two ago. Now I get to see the cars they bragged so much about, collecting dust in the driveway. |

They expect gas prices to get as high as 5 dollars a gallon in the next 45 days, which is pretty high considering that things here are far as hell. But I'd doubt that it will stay like this for a much longer time.
As for how it will impact my summer... well, I won't even be here; the place where I'm going claims it has autonomy in oil (lies, though :P), so things there aren't much of a concern as of now. But when I come back, it's gonna be hell, just like every summer vacation: Loss of sleep over Brother's invading room at 6 am to play WC3, boredom along the entire summer. And I'll probably have to work.
