Prius estimated lifetime: 109,000 miles

I can go one but for what a Prius costs, a 100k limit on it only proves it a piece of shit. You can also look at energy consumption in terms of how much energy it takes to produce the fuel for your car. I dont know the specifics and even with electric cars being much more efficient than combustion, Id be willing to bet electricity costs almost as much to produce as petrol (please correct me if I am wrong).

Worst case scenario, we melt the icecaps, we all drown and land life ends. Earth will fix itself, its been around longer than we have.

How about it being an ugly fucking car, is that a misconception too?

thanks for the link para. too bad that site says nothing about electric vs fuel, nothing about poor mileage (not mpg, overall mileage) and nothing about its price compared to other combustion cars.

with some good spark plugs, a fresh air filter every 5 thousand miles, proper tire care (rotation balance aligntment) my little 2001 honda gets 35 mpg. its 8 years old, only has 90k on it as its my shitty weather/winter vehicle and cost me 12 grand (500 miles on it as a demo) in 2000. ive even hit 39 mpg driving strictly on the highway (route 90 from albany to buffalo twice in 1 day).
