Yes, someone else had also posted my mistake. I think what it shows is that these cars can be economically viable. I usually drive cars for 15 years or more, until they are on their last gasp. So if I can break even on the extra cost of a hybrid in 5 to 10 years, it's still a good deal for me. Like I said before, once the warranty runs out on the hybrid, you can upgrade to a plug-in, where they install a larger battery, which you plug-in overnight and get the extra mileage. That would make it even more economical. If any of you want to read more about converting a Prius to a plug-in, so you can get 100+ mpg, then check out this website: edrivesystems.com./ calcars.org
