Hurricanes: Another reason to buy a hybrid vehicle

Oil prices pushed a little higher today based on numerous factors, including Iran's response to the U.N. and another kidnapping in Nigeria. Additionally, a storm in the Gulf also shut down a couple of oil platforms according to a recent CNBC report I just watched. Following that bit of news the reporter stated, now that the hurricane season has just started - in terms of energy - America is just one hurricane away from disaster. So, don't listen to all the naysayers that claim hybrid cars aren't cost effective. As gas keeps going higher, with occasional spikes into the $5.00 and $6.00 range, you'll get the last laugh!
