I also talk about how to shop these kinds of vehicles the right way so you don’t give back all your “fuel savings” in a bad deal. That’s why I mention Drive Ease—my friend Ben has a dealer network he works with, and the idea is simple: use relationships to get better pricing and less headache when you’re hunting for a car.
