Default Re: CNN/Money Article: Are Hybrids Worth the Money

The batteries in in the Prius are warrantied for 100,000 mi. But should last the life of the car. Which Toyota says I believe is around 200,000 mi. I'll bet we will have gas engine problems before that.
I figure I'm saving about $800 a year on gas. That is compared to the average car.
The Prius is also much larger in size than the closest competetor gas misser cars.
Note: Prius I 49,000 mi and no problems! prius II 18,000 mi and no problems period!!!!

Batteries not an issue,
Dave
