Well "new" for me. I bought a used 2016 Chevy that used to be a fleet vehicle. Got it for like $8000 and it gets 33mpg which I love.

I did seriously consider getting an electric, but since I need a car for long term road trips? I don't think an electric would be good right now.

Lke if I need to drive from Idaho to Wisconsin, how would I do that with an electric?

The US really needs Chinese EV technology. Chinese EVs are selling super well in Australia compared to the legacy brands because their much better cars for less money. Mine can charge 10-80% in 13 minutes. If anyone needs a bathroom break and a coffee the car is pretty much good to go before you are. You don't been have to charge to 80%, just go when you're ready. The car can drive further than my bladder in most cases.
