  • Until gas reaches $8 a gallon or the hybrids come down in price a hybrid isn't cost effective.

  • It all comes down to how much driving you do and the vehicle your moving from.

    If you already drive a Prius 20,000 miles a year (avg. 45 MPG), it might take 10 years to recover at $4 a gallon.

    However, if you get 20 MPG over the same distance now, and trade up for a 100 MPG plug-in at $4 per gallon, you could save over $3000 per year in gas.

    In that case, the added plug-in costs would be covered after three years and the rest is gravy.

  • @3erik11 It isn't the ability to recycle but the refining of the nickel they mine in countries with lax/no environmental protection laws. Until we can find a better solution , burning hydrocarbons is still the best we have to offer today. Hopefully in the future we will find more efficient ways to utilize our natural resources. But please, don't trust this oil loving dirt bag, do your own fact checking.

    It seldom needs replacement unless you drove it off-road and expose it to harsh environment. The intense vibration and banging could affect the battery internal components. The touring package could help.

  • LOL Apparently the lights have to be off for this Prius to be parked and charged. LOL

  • can you get that mileage @60mph?

  • @d1ez3 @d1ez3 dude. these people are all about "green." keeping the lights off helps save the planet... somehow.

  • i lwould like to have 100mpg :D

  • "And they'd never know".  Right, then you take it in for service and BOOM...Sorry sir...you modified your car. You're SCREWED cause you just VOIDED your WARANTY. Thanks mr moddy.

  • @GarrettKeetley Bullsh*t... unless you never go over 50 on the highway!
