While they do have some options in bikes (reclining, bike trailers, baskets), bikes just aren't set up for families AND groceries. It's an either/or proposition. Most of the carry options (besides the trailer) are also limited to a single bag. I have a saddle bag basket on my bike and I don't think I could fit more than 2 plastic bags or 1 paper bag between the two sides.
What I would like to see is more options in family cars (6+ passengers). It doesn't look like anything is being developed for larger families in terms of electric/hybrid cars or even better gas mileage. I'm not looking for a huge engine or great pick up. I'd really like some better options.
Toyota Highlander, Ford Escape, Chevy Tahoe all are made in hybrid models.

I am clueless as to how exactly the hybrid cars work. I do love the toyota highlanders!

I'm not very educated on them either, but basically they have both a gas and electric motor...using one or the other, or both, at different points to maximize fuel economy.

Is their a price difference between gas companies.
The dearest company in London and possibly across UK is BP the cheapest is usually at supermarkets pumps. Do people shop around for cheaper gas.

Here in my area there are 3 Lassus stations within 12 miles of each other and typically the price gets cheaper the farther away from the freeway you get. Thankfully the cheapest one is closest to me and often is in a bit of a gas war with the station next door, typically anywhere from 3 to 9 cents cheaper!
Blessings,
Garsy

There are two petrol stations close to where I work Esso and Q8, about 300 yards apart, the Q8 is always 2pence dearer than Esso, Shell about a 1/4 of a mile away is even cheaper.

Right now the average price here in the USA is around $3.75 dollars a gallon. It varies by what area you live in.

The gas prices are really hurting a lot of people in our area. But what can you do? You still have to get to work and go places. I don't know what the breaking point is, but there are a lot of people that are starting to get close to it. I'm so thankful that my husband doesn't have a 45 minute commute to work anymore.
