I have yet to see any poison oak here.

Stay away from Texas

As far as Prius Savings????

I tried a simple Calc.

4*(100000/30) - 4*(100000/45)

$4 Gas
100,000 Miles
30 vs 45 MPG.

And it comes up with a savings of $4,444

If, of course, you compare it to a vehicle that gets 20 MPG, the savings jumps to $11,111, which is a pretty penny.

Plus, it is less fuel purchased from overseas, and less cashing going to people who hate us.

You saying a non hybrid prius gets 30 mpg? Didn't know they even made one. You gotta compare the same vehicle, or it's an invalid comparison. What vehicle gets 15 mpg better as a hybrid compared to it's non hybrid model? The hybrids I compared, civics and accords, were closer to 1-5 mpg at most better for the hybrid. My family can't fit in a prius, nor can you compare it to the non hybrid model since it doesn't exist. I was getting 36 mpg with my last manual accord, which was only 1 mpg less than the hybrid which costs over $10K more at the time. Guess why they quit making the hybrid accord.

I like Mondays.. people are back to work so the stores are free, and the grandkids are in school.

I'll check with you to make sure whatever model we buy it will not be annoying.

I got a chuckle out of that.

Buckeye, Thats the problem with a Prius you cannot compare it with a non-hybrid Prius. So lets compare it to the other car I was going to buy - a Lexus, now let's talk about how much I saved - about 15K the first day plus 11K in gas on the first 100k miles - hey it's almost like my next Prius is FREE! The math gets kind of------.


Iv'e looked at other hybrids and their gasoline twins and cannot ever justify those hybrids even with ----- math.

Fuzzy math.

Well stay away from Ohio then

That pretty much goes without saying, regardless of the poison ivy discussion.
