The 2012 Auto Show is underway and drawing in plenty of people who are in the market for a new vehicle.

Those browsing through the cars at the Farm Show Complex say there is a lot to keep in mind when searching for a new car: comfort, appearance, cost and gas mileage.

"You've got to make the dollar stretch so the more mileage you get, the better you're going to make out," said Karen Fulfer.

Chris Petschler, a product specialist with Toyota, says when it comes to a Prius, it can't be beat and that these days, a hybrid isn't that much more expensive.

"For example, our Camry starts at about $23,000 and the Camry Hybrid starts at 26, but the gas mileage more than makes up for that. You recoup that money so quickly that it's not true anymore that they're so much more expensive," he said.

The Auto Show will go through the weekend, ending on Sunday. For more information about ticket prices and the schedule, you can visit: http://www.autoshowharrisburg.com
