Re: OT gas prices

My niece, who lives in South Carolina, has used a Honda hybrid for the past
three years and loves it.  I've driven it a few times and it is most
comfortable for me.  She gets close to 50 mpg on the highway and has had no
problems.  Congressional hearings start soon but I don't know if there is a
fast solution.
