He says he puts in regular(even though i think all the hybrids lexus's require premium) and gets good enough gas mileage that it doesn't impact his bottom line too much compared to a similar corolla or Prius. Also maintenance is the same as a Prius.
I always thought color was a wrap, but apparently its paint. he said if they get into a fender bender, the paint is cheaper and easier to correct than rewrapping the car. 
im going to ask for his car every time i take a cab now. |
I find some are paint, some are wraps, it's all over the place.
