      The Prius Conundrum
      I think you are using false logic here. The Prius will never pay back it's energy savings in the amount of time the adverage first owner will own it. At over 20G a Prius may get 50 MPG. A 40MPG Toyota Corolla at 12G is a much greener desision. Money is green too. Every dollar you spend creates greenhouse gasses during the manufacture of the product you spent that dollar on. You can buy more gas for the 8G you save than either of these cars will use in their average "first owner lifetime" The Prius is simply a stupid symbol of "look at me, I care about the environment more than you." Wait till these things start hitting the landfill. What do you do with that giant cell phone battery?
      I wish there was a better answer, but for now, if you want to be green, buy the cheapest car you can, and stop driving so much.
