2008 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited L.L. Bean Edition Grey, 40542 mi, $21,900 http://ht.ly/3f0If

EARTHY CAR OF THE WEEK: 2005 Ford Focus

2005 Ford Focus ZX4 Silver, Sedan, 90598 mi, $5,900 http://ow.ly/2FYCO

This Ford Focus is one of the lowest priced vehicles on our lot, yet it is a very strong vehicle. It is only 5 years old and well maintained. The Ford Focus is known to be small and affordable, yet reliable. That’s why it is biggest selling car in parts of Europe.

This particular Focus has one of the more trims – it has 2.3 liter engine and an advanced stereo system (with MP3 capability and steering wheel mounted audio controls).

This Focus is perfect for parents looking to buy their teenage a first car; those who need a car but don’t have a large budget; or any families looking for a second or third car.

EARTHY CARS SPOTLIGHT 11.16.2010

Even though the summer is long over and the winter is about to arrive, gas price are not going down. In fact, they are going up. Check out the following stories in the news:

If you are looking to buy a vehicle, you should consider buying a vehicle that is fuel efficient. As gasoline becomes less plentiful, it will become more expensive. There will be many times in the near future where the price of gasoline will spike in price. Save all you can by buying a fuel efficient vehicle. Plus, it’s good for the economy and the environment.

Take note of the MPG (average miles driven per gallon of gas consumed) rating of vehicles you are looking to buy. There is a rating for both city driving and highway driving. The higher the ratings, the less gasoline it consumes.

The MPG rating of every vehicle sold in the U.S., plus information about MPG ratings, can be found here: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/
