2005 Honda Civic Hybrid Road Test

The other day gas peaked at $2.72 for a gallon of plain ol' regular unleaded. As with any other car with a needle drooping into the red, I pulled into the local refueling station and proceeded to pump away. I was the only person amongst a half a dozen smiling. I can envision it now, played out by the attendants inside. "Is he crazy? Who smiles when gas is nearly three dollars a gallon? Profit margins and taxes must not be high enough." I smugly grabbed my receipt from the counter and walk away. Normally, this scenario would have played out with a personal-sized thundercloud over my head and me begrudgingly handing over my hard earned cash for another fix of go-juice, but I'm in luck. This week, I'm behind the wheel of Honda's Civic Hybrid, the cleanest and most efficient member of Civic Nation.
