if you wanted to save gas than don't drive..... mass transit > Prius.....plus ...hybrids have an increased chance of hitting and possibly killing pedestrians and bicyclists.....butttt the more gas for me so CHEERS!

Nothing says pompous *** more than owning one of those things.

Good luck pal. I pray your car doesn't have the "unintended fatal acceleration" defect that 4 million Toyotas got recalled for earlier this month.

All the best.

give me your man card
those cars are complete junk, horrible to work on, we cant touch one without dissconnecting the entire electrical system, cant bake it cuz you will fry the cars elctrical system, cant push it cuz you will charge the batteries, cant even put a grinder to it with out dissconnecting the charging system

even i-car instructors hate these things, and most of us techs do to

The more hybrids there are out there, the more gas there is for those of us who like to drive real cars.

as for the sudden unintended acceleration problems that some toyotas have, the Prius is immune to this problem because wel, in order to have sudden unintended acceleration you have to have acceleration, which the Prius does not have
