you may saved little bit of gas about 10 miles per gallon,over the corolla which gets you 38 miles per gallon,now lets do the math,basic prius is worth 23500 plus tax
basic corolla 17000 plus tax the diffrence is 6500 ,how much of time you need to recover the diffrence can you tell me,it takes about 3 years ,& corolla is nicer car has more power,now where is the saving ???
The Toyota Prius has become the flagship car for those in our society so environmentally conscious that they are willing to spend a premium to show the world how much they care. Unfortunately for them, their ultimate 'green car' is the source of some of the worst pollution in North America; it takes more combined energy per Prius to produce than a Hummer.
Building a Toyota Prius causes more environmental damage than a Hummer that is on the road for three times longer than a Prius. As already noted, the Prius is partly driven by a battery which contains nickel. The nickel is mined and smelted at a plant in Sudbury, Ontario. This plant has caused so much environmental damage to the surrounding environment that NASA has used the 'dead zone' around the plant to test moon rovers. The area around the plant is devoid of any life for miles.
The Prius is NOT environmentally friendly.
