We've Gone Hybrid
The Carbon Farmer is proud to announce that we now own a 2009 Civic Hybrid and we’ll be using it for all of our business needs.
We bought the car from Millwoods Honda in Edmonton last week and are thoroughly enjoying the ride, handling, and of course reduced fuel use and emissions. We are the first ones in our family to purchase a hybrid and everyone who has “test driven” it so far is very impressed too. We may have even tempted a few pick-up truck drivers to take the plunge!
With Rebecca travelling across the Peace River School Division for her role as a social worker and the company recently taking on a contract with the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre (MCCAC) we were in need of a second vehicle. Choosing the 2009 Civic Hybrid fits perfectly with our “reduce first” mantra because it has an amazing fuel mileage rating of 4.3 litres per 100 kilometres on the highway and 4.7 litres per 100 kilometres for city driving. Perhaps more important than the fuel mileage figures are the emissions rating of Tier 2 Bin 2. This means that our 2009 Civic Hybrid is almost a zero emissions vehicle! Plus like the other Honda products we have, the quality and safety of our new car will allow us to rest easy that we will be there for our clients when they need us.
There are still a few 2009 Civic Hybrids available and Millwoods Honda has let us know that the 2010 Honda Insight has just received a $4000.00 cash incentive from Honda Canada. With the incentive, the starting price of an Insight LX is down to $21,470, making the Honda Insight the most affordable Honda Hybrid ever!
Contact Millwoods Honda for more details and remember that they also have us plant and care for a tree on behalf of every vehicle sold as part of their Create a Forest Event. When on their Partners Page be sure to take a look at the listing for Certificate 308!
