i thought people bought the prius because it's the trendy thing to do.
what do you mean by you never make that money back? higher maintenance costs on it or something?

 

yeah 50+$ to fill up is hurting

 

more cost out the door

and TDI is the best

 

well with current oil prices sky rocketing. EPA and other organizations are looking at different ways to view costs on fuel.

A new way which can be the new standard is miles per dollar.

well in 3 - 5 years you have to replace the $2,500 battery. So unless you basically drive no where you save nothing. If you want to save real money get the old Honda Insight and get 70+mpg.

 

3-5 years? that doesn't sound right. i thought it was more like 10+ years. both my bosses have priuses (1st and 2nd gen) and they're all running strong. they consistently get 45mpg. most people who buy it don't get it to save money on gas as their main reason. i've heard of more people getting it just to get the carpool lane sticker than to make money back on gas.

It's great that I ride my bike to work.

i think it was around 5 years when the technology came out but it depends how lucky you are, my bro 1st gen civic hybrid went out in 5 years and it wasn't very cost effective to swap it out. so he just got a cl.
