COLUMBUS, Ohio-Members First Credit Union is offering a 50-basis point rate discount on new and used hybrid vehicle loans. "With the continued rise in fuel costs, we wanted to make it more affordable for members to purchase hybrid vehicles and enjoy better gas mileage with a more environmentally-friendly auto," said Amanda Callicoat, marketing and business development manager. "Combined with the tax credits the members will receive with a hybrid vehicle, the lower loan rate saves them even more money, which will help them with the pinch from high gas prices."
