Joining fellow Republican and green car driver Arnold Schwarzenegger, Senator John McCain recently picked up a Ford Fusion hybrid, but for those who want to get good mileage like his new ride a used Ford Fusion could also be one option.
McCain wrote on Twitter that he was “excited” to pick up the car he had decided on a few days earlier.
A spokeswoman told the Associated Press he “was sold when he left the parking lot” in the vehicle, a replacement for the less fuel efficient 2004 Cadillac STS he had used previously.
But while he may be an early adopter of hybrids compared to other conservatives, he’s not the first in his family to go green.
His daughter Meghan, a Republican blogger, has owned a Toyota Prius since 2007, according to Newsweek.
Looking at hybrids like a used Toyota Prius in New York could save some buyers money at the gas pumps as well as be more environmentally friendly.
The 2004 model gets 44 miles per gallon, a fuel efficiency that is more than double that of the average passenger from that year, according to the Bureau of Transportation statistics.
