Re: Prius
Made this comment a few mths back. Had the occasion to travel in a Prius taxi. Vehicle at the time had 200000+miles driver claimed it was the most trouble free vehicle he had ever owned
He bought the Prius Zero down, the savings in fuel compared to his previous full size sedan made his payment every month. Where the use of extra base metals(Batteries) fits into the total environmental issue I have no idea.
I personally drive a 250Dodge diesel bout 20MPG
Wife drives a Volvo close to 30 country roads.
The argument that small vehicles are less safe is muted I think for anyone who has ever driven in Europe. All the passenger cars are smallish, the trucks and buses are the same size as here. Incedently we drove a 5 passenger Reneult in Italy 52 mpg diesel, quiet, perky, those guys all drive like Andretti wantabees
