    I have read about people who installed solar panels on their homes that will never pay back in their lifetime.
    It’s not always a financial decision

    Making so many assumptions about how I drive. I use the BEV mode for short trips only and the HEV mode for long trips. Short trips are bad for any engine, Prius or not.

    Why even buy a car? Ride the bus, and you will save $60,000, not just $600. Then, you have even more money for the grave. ;)

    Let people buy whatever toy they want. They are not buying them to save money but to enjoy them. Some people don’t even have access to electric outlets, and it is a cool feature to be able to drive 5 miles a day without putting any fuel.
