Very true. The Prius officially has a less-than-80-horsepower engine
(73 or 78, can't remember), but the acceleration with the engine and the
electric motor cranking together is terrific. It's very quick from a
complete stop, and it's great in moder

After you add up the total cost difference, at $2.00 a gallon for gas it
would have taken us like 7 years to break even. And that doesn't include
higher costs for servicing and part replacement.

I agree, which is why we ended up just buying a used Corolla instead of the

Yeah, it also depends greatly on the area, hilly areas aren't very well suited
as I understand.
If you go up and down equally, it is not so bad. I got the best gas mileage of
my trip going up and down the grapevine to get to LA last week. Downs are
good, no gas used. Ups are not so good. So

I had a similar calculation between a new Corolla and the Prius, but the gas is
$2.80 here in Califo
I don't think that too many of us disagree with you. It's just not an
option when you're not financially able to do so.
