Paying top dollar at the gasoline pump is a strain on both personal, commercial, and governmental wallets no matter how you cut it. The proposal of the recent drop in station prices being temporary doesn’t help matters. Especially because deep down inside we all know it’s more than likely true. It’s no wonder that hybrid and other recently innovated vehicles are in such high demand.

What this means for your checking account is that gas won’t make up a ridiculous percentage of your spending. What it means for warranty coverage is changes specific to new emissions-cutting automotive design. Energy efficient cars require energy efficient parts and hopefully for the owner, a high priority on coverage to see the environmentally friendlier vehicle last as long as possible.
