    My brother has had a Prius for a few years and his recommendation (“they’re great when you don’t hit a deer with themâ€) helped me decide to get my new one.

    Due to him having a cabin high in the mountains, he needed to also get a Sequoia. Although the Sequoia is also made by Toyota, its large size and lack of fuel economy makes it the AntiPrius. Hence the danger .....

    In using the same considerations as with matter and anti-matter he has to exercise extreme caution as to not park the two vehicles too close to each other in his driveway. If he would inadvertently park too close the best case scenario would be the vehicles canceling out each other and he would be left with no vehicles.:mad:

    Under the worst case scenario a tear in the fabric of the universe would occur and all would cease to exist. :eek:

    (Seriously, thanks to all who have posted such helpful info on this forum :D)

    just go to the future & bring back an engine that will run on garbage and allow your sequoia to fly as well, then it would be more green than your prius.

    & bring a 21st century sports almanac back as well.

    There are plenty more fuel efficient ways to get to a mountain cabin than a big-nice person Sequoia.

    True - but he is usually hauling 4-5 people, along with a Thule rack, skis, mountain bikes, etc. By the time he gets it all loaded it can sometimes look like the truck from The Beverly Hillbillies.

    Some folks are driving on garbage now: used fry oil. It's not all that green, though: It's carbon neutral, but the particulates are a real issue.
