No, I'll pass thank you

Prius sales were up 73% in April. I am sure that trend will continue. I don't see the RX 400/GS 450h sales really climbing though.

So that is what $9 since gas in GA is $3.05 a gallon a day to just get to work.

Mass transit in Atlanta is craptastic or I would use that.

Holy crap, I need to move!!! lol
Yea Atlanta is nothing but stop and go in the city.. traffic was crazy when i was there..

in that case, my GS300 hates my ***... 15 mpg city & 19 mpg highway.

200 miles a tank in the GS? I get 350. You need to get some fuel injector cleaner or something....

"or does gas not fade you at all?"

doesn't bother me a bit...why worry about it? I do wish i had $100,000 for that Tesla motors electric roadster...how does 135 mpg sound? all electric...0-60 in 4.0 seconds, 130mph top speed, 200 mile range

Simply put, no way. I am considering an older 30+ mpg vehicle, but more so to keep my commuter miles (124) off the GS. I get a constant 24 mpg in the GS with my commute.

The lexus models really gear towards performance and not mpg. The RX is a bit better then the GS.
