Crave Article "Prius better than Hummer"

Finally some MSM attention to the facts! George Will and all the other "journalists" who blindly accepted the CNW report should be forced to write retractions.

Not that that will ever happen.

 

Unfortunately, while we all knew the true facts, the rest of the world just will not accept them, and are more than happy to hop on the bandwagon in favour of SUVs. A number of other threads indicate how these anti-Prius people just do not want to listen to the real information.

And even worse, publications like this just will not make it into the mainstream of reading material.

But they will get indexed by google... and when someone searches for hummer vs prius, they may find it and read it. So there is a silver lining...

 

You do realize you are responding to a thread where the last post was over four years ago?

 

HA, HA, nice nickname, Dust to dust report industry average cost per mile is 2.28 $ are they crazy. I know that it's stated in the report that owner of the car doesn't actually pay the whole cost but this number is just plain crazy.

Lets say a car (not Prius) costs 30,000 $ and in it's life it does 178,739 miles (averege from the report) this is 0.168 $ per mile, even if it does only 15 MPG this adds only 0.2 $ per mile. lets say that for servicing/tires you pay 500 $ per year and only make 10,000 miles a year this adds additional 0.05 $.

So the owner of the above car will pay "only" 0.418 $ per mile, who pays the rest 80% of the cost? Taxpayers? Car company?
