Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.    Don’t let a car sales person sell you more of a vehicle than you need.    That…perhaps oddly enough… is advice from our recent interview with Kia America corporate communications head James Bell…

“Especially, you know we’re in some curious political times  now and fuel prices are a concern for so many Americans.  And if you bought a vehicle that’s got that big V8 engine or lots of power because you might go climb a mountain one day and now you’ve got to that thing up on a weekly basis, if not more often, you’re spending more than you need to.   And that’s one of the easy over decisions, I guess you could say, that people make.”

Of course, he’d like you to consider the hybrid Kia Seltos that can get up to 46 miles per gallon.   Bell adds, however, that the future is clearly electric.
