Contrary to any loose statements made by our marketing partners in the environmental community and media, petroleum not consumed by the Prius is not "saved." It does not remain in the ground. It is consumed by someone else. Greenhouse pollutants are released. Also, please note that the warranty and owner's manual say nothing about reducing America's dependence on foreign oil. This is not an oversight. The Prius is an "oil-dependent" vehicle. It runs on gasoline, supplied by the same world market that fuels other vehicles.

So I guess we should all drive Hummers and leave all our lights on 24/7? After all, the energy is going to get consumed anyway, right?
