A Consumer Reports Top 10 list devoted only to gas-electric hybrids and electric vehicles makes even more sense in light of higher prices for a gallon of regular gasoline: "The nationwide average for regular gas is now $4.32 a gallon, according to AAA. On Wednesday, the cost was $4.25, once again eclipsing the previous all-time record of $4.11 set in July 2008. When adjusted for inflation, that would be around $5.25 today, USA Today reported.
On Thursday, I paid $4.09 for a gallon of regular at Costco in Teterboro, where the full service station is open to both Costco members and non-members. On Tuesday, the price was $3.91 a gallon.
