    I am slowly converting to being green First I installed a 7.1KW solar system on my house. Then I sold my 2003 Ford F350 diesel 13 MPG for a 2008 Range rover sport 16 MPG. Now to a 2011 prius 4 it has 350 miles on it and is getting 45 MPG so far.I am really enjoying not having to get gas so often.I was getting fuel $50 on sunday and $50 to $60 on Wednesday. I purchased the prius on tuesday last week and still have over 1/4 tank. Feels Great.

    :) Every time I fuel up I am still amazed at how little it takes.
    How has your solar project worked out?

    I have had the solar for over 2 years now I was paying $280 a month I have a large reef aquarium.two years ago. I paid $140 for the year and this year It was $160 for the year lots of rain last year. So it has been working out good.
