more fun car to drive than the prius plus the prius 4 to 5k more so in 100000 miles with 4 dollar gas you arent saving any money driving a prius 100,000/55 =1818 * 4 =7272 100,000/33 =3030 * 4= 12121 now if you are just wanting to buy the least amount of gas then prius buy far, but if you are looking to save money.

Commented Apr 20, 2011 on Pike Research forecasts sales of fuel cell vehicles to cross 1M mark in 2020 at Green Car Congress

I can see it now Pay me up front or overtime at 5 dollars a gallon you would pay 12500 over 100,000 miles for 40 mpg 18000 dollar car which is 30k or pay 32k for the first few years or 41k after that for a volt assuming never buy gas They are already hinting of the lithium shortage and i am sure it will become a commodity like oil Then the batteries will add to the price of the car and go up in price because of demand and the leaf which should cost less than 20k will cost 30k so we will just be paying for the gas up front
