A prius costs twice what a UK Ford Focus 1600cc turbo diesel does too. The focus does 55MPG in town and 72MPG at 70MPH. Far cheaper to run and service than prius. No one buys them in the UK now. They are 20years behind in technology, diesel overtook the prius and left it in the dark ages.

lets say you already have a POS prius.

and you get 50mpg..

you now double your mpg to 100mpg. lets do simple math

you drive 15 miles to work so 30 miles round trip. thats 150 miles a week.

take 150 times 52(weeks in a year) thats 7800. Divide that by 50(mpg). that makes 156 gallons used per year. take 156 times 4(dollars per gallon) thats 624 dollars a year in gas. now Divide that by two.(you doubled mpg to 100mpg) thats 312. Now, 10,000/312=32.05 years to pay off your stupid new "gas saver"

The cold crank diesel still required turbo charge and cost like x5 vs the conventional vehicle.

I wish I have the money to try the new tech too..really!

@Nater36

You considered paying off in time? not mileage? what about peer comparison vs a conventional new v4 25mpg vehicle? saved a bunch in my opinion.

My cost estimate is only $5K for the vehicle when it reach 200K miles.

I like the concept, but PLUG IN? the prius is regenerative..static electricity. I would love one for my ford escape, its a pig on gas. send me more info, only if its regenerative.

[jjenson2006]

Then you look at the electric bill at the end of the month and pass out!

[EDog1o1]

or you can get a diesel

Ya, you will be picking up all the hot chicks with this ride.

Id much rather get bad gas mileage that take it up the ass like a prius driver. Thats what I said to to the toyota salesman at the mn state fair yesterday.

So why can't they use alternators, or if they do how come they don't charge the battery hardly

[1REDDAWN13]

....you then plug into the house. So the power plant burns some kind of fuel to give you the power to your house and then to your car.So add that to the price to run your car.

$2.00 worth of household electricity.....ah no ...you can't say that if you don't know the sizes of the batteries. Most of the plug it cars will take 8 hours to charge if ran down most of the way. Do that every night you notice a big change in your bill.
