A new car will cost way more than $1,000 to $1,400 per year. Unless you know that some other major repairs are coming up or unless you’re nervous that the car isn’t reliable enough for your trips, sticking with your current car makes the most sense here.

As others have said, it sounds like most of your miles are highway miles, which means a hybrid really isn’t right for you.
