I'm considering replacing my vehicle in 4 years; I'll see what seems best mileage and reliable and long lasting.

That option would save an awful lot of people quite a bit of time when buying a new vehicle.
"Uh...yeah...can you point me to the trucks with the PEP option?"
We will see how many more years I can drag out of my Subaru (126k and counting). Assuming I am still doing an extreme commute when it goes, I would seriously consider a hybrid or diesel. The hold-up for me on the hybrid is not price (don't mind giving up a couple thou to assuage my enviro-guilt), its safety. I want to see several years of real world data before I commit to driving a new technology car. If manufacturers can get the green diesel sorted out to US emission satisfaction, it would likely be a preferred option for me. C'mon, Subaru, bring that flat 4 turbo diesel wagon on over from Europe...
It will take time.......the air in Europe ain't the best.............
Too expensive. Plus, I do lots of highway driving and hybrids tend to like city or stop/go driving.
I do a fair amount of both city and highway driving in both my Civic Hybrid and my Prius. I have never calculated the difference in city MPG vs highway MPG for either car -- I'll have to do that. One thing for sure is that my Prius blows my Civic away in combined MPG. I get over 50 MPG combined for the Prius, but only about 45 MPG combined for my Civic.
