    I hear ya. I’m leaning toward a plug-in hybrid for the car in a few years. Lets me get cheap fillups 98% of the time and still covers the 2%. The gas engine shouldn’t need too much maintenance if it isn’t getting used much. Though, I suppose in a few years when that time comes, I’ll have to see if anything changed.

      You will want to drive the gas part every few weeks. The belts and wires can corrode from non-use. Also, the various fluids in a gas car will disintegrate even if not used so… checking the fluids and changing them is a must before a long trip.
