    After owning my Prime Plus for two weeks we are very happy with the results so far. We came from first a Toyota Yaris which was getting 38-40 MPG, then to a Prius C which was getting about 53 MPG and now the Prius Prime. Only one fill up so far with a calculated by hand of 81.5 MPG. This is from mainly a 31 mile commute to work and back with the option of only plugging in at home. Some highway driving at 65 MPH as well. Overall I would highly recommend this car, especially when you add in the rebates and tax credits (hopefully) the price is right about the price of a Corolla. Anyways love the car and the information on this forum.

    I was considering a Prime as well. However, if this tax plan is passed, it seems we can kiss the credits goodbye ( at least the last time I checked...it seems to change daily! ).

    It is looking more and more that way. Still think you will be safe if you bought in 2017.

    Hmm you sure? Last I heard it very well may be retroactive. However, who knows...like I mentioned, it changes daily.

    If this thing passes it will be almost impossible to change tax stuff and get it all in place by tax time this time around. Congress is like a snail.

    Most people believe that if you buy by the end off this year, tax credit should still apply.

    At the risk of banishment to Fred's House of Politics, one could contact their Congress critters.

    In the United States, Congress is prohibited from passing ex post facto laws by clause 3 of Article I, Section 9 of the United States Constitution. The states are prohibited from passing ex post facto laws by clause 1 of Article I, Section 10. This is one of the relatively few restrictions that the United States Constitution made to both the power of the federal and state governments before the Fourteenth Amendment.

    From Ex post facto law - Wikipedia
