Lance Armstrong worst spokes-doper ever
Even the spontaneously combusting IED known as the Chevy Volt outsold
the Nissan Leaf last month. http://content.usatoday.com/communit...f-last-month/1 |

It should be, it cost him 46K. I heard the plug-in version of the Prius is going to sell for just over 30K. |

Make sure your fire insurance is paid up The Prius will cost $10K more than an equivalent car that does say 30mpg. With the $10K saved, this will buy you 3000 gallons of "fool" to go another 90 000 miles. Good game. Phil H |

For example, if you fight a $3 trillion war in part to keep the price of gas at $3 a gallon or less, and the cost of the war is divided over of order 200 million persons of driving age, that's $15K per person, which could upgrade your car by $10K and leave $5K over for a pretty nice, although admittedly not up to Fattie Masters-class, bicycle.

Phil H That's why when I was looking for a fuel-efficient small car to replace my premium-guzzling E36 M3, I bought a Honda Fit Sport. $18K, 40 mpg on trips, 30-35 mpg in standard city driving, regular fuel, 5 star safety ratings from all angles, very low maintenance. Ideal car IMO would be a similar sized car with a 1.2L turbodiesel, similar to the first-gen Audi A2 (which recorded 78 mpg on the euro hwy cycle). |

We've examined the math of hybrids and overpriced diesels and it only
works out if one drives 50k-70k miles a year or gas goes up to $30 + a gallon. Like many solutions the best is to USE LESS |

Like many solutions the best is to USE LESS Use less is indeed the most effective savings measure. However, if you assume some car usage, and a new car, the arithmetic for hybrids can be pretty good. You just use a projected lifetime for the car (I like 150 K miles--most new cars are good for that), divide by a conservative (not EPA) mpg to see what the lifetime usage of gasoline will be. Multiply that by the cost of fuel per gallon, add the price of the car and you have a lifetime cost of fuel plus car to compare. Using conservative 42 mpg for a Prius and conservative fuel price of $3.50 per gallon, you'll spend $5000 less on gas over the life of the the Prius compared to a 30 mpg car. That pretty much covers the premium for the hybrid drive. Any increases in fuel price and your savings are greater. Since the Prius has similar funtionality to Camry class cars, the really good news is that there's no cost premium-- Camry and Prius are priced similarly, as are most cars in that class. The Prius is not as deluxe, but it has similar or better passenger and cargo room. |
