Gasoline Prices Retreat
One common theme has been the importance of gasoline prices in helping buyers go green with efficient cars and trucks. So this article bears reading and thinking about: After Steady December Climb, Gasoline Prices Retreat in January | TheDetroitBureau.com

Electric-car MPGe as important as range, Hyundai Ioniq maker suggests
it suggests MPGe should be important than range when considering cars
ignoring the fact the article is written to highlight the Ioniq (yes I drive a hybrid Ioniq), what are other member thoughts when considering cars,
ignoring brands / models do you look only at range on electric?, only efficiency (MPGe) or both (if so which is the more important)
if you choose a plug in is the range very important? do you choose a plug in with enough range on electric to cover most of your commute / day to day journeys?
personal I looked at both range and efficiency, but for me on my budget there isn't an EV / plugin with enough range to meet my requirements but as the efficiency improves there may well be in a few years
