A friend of mine just bought a Toyota Prius and it averages around 50Mpg. Very economical.
Was wonderin if anyone else has any expereince of them?
Gas has to reach at least $7.50 a gallon, to be cost effective through the battery change in 4 years, which is the big issue at the moment. I actually like the Honda better, we designed (and now manufacture at a different plant) the electric car chargers, one of the guys at work has his honda hybrid running off of batteries pretty much only so he gases up every couple of months and just plugs the car to the charger at night. Once the battery replacement issue is solved, I'll be interested in one, but till then the cost of driving one for 4 years and two months is a little two expensive.
