Why I need a new car to save the planet



Well, in this case the map says it all.


Taken from ESRI's MapMPG.com (beta) - the site lets you compare how far two different cars can go on one gallon of gas.


My "cut & paste" example compares "my old but paid for truck" – a 1997 Isuzu Trooper contrasted with a burn rate of today's "auto-green darling" - a Toyota Prius.


As soon as the home budget allows for a new car payment, I think the choice of purchase is clear.

Thanks to www.DirectionsMag.com "Off the Beaten Path" article for the link.
