PRIUS:

PLuses: Gas Savings

Minuses:

More complex battery based system expensive
chances of running out of fuel whether gas or electric higher
car is too small
car is not attractive or that sporty
car holds absolutely no load
car cannot move apartments or furniture
car you cannot sleep in on long trips very easily
car will have high premiums on insurance and tax since you will always have to buy it new
Car will not be easy and may be impossible to fix yourself
If your batteries fail for good it will be VERY expensive

So good luck smoking the advertising crack Prius drivers. They got you by the balls and some of us know it.

Better solution to this problem:

OPEN UP NAT GAS stations ( there are none in many areas ) and offer NAT GAS conversions to trucks and vans and anything under 20 MPG
