You might feel better driving a hybrid, but you won't necessarily be greener."
That's because each Prius consumes the equivalent of 1,000 gallons of fuel before its odometer clicks to 1. As we saw above, this is due to the manufacturing and shipping costs associated with the Prius. So while the Prius may not be worse for the environment than a Hummer is, it certainly would be given a run for its money when put head-to-head with a used car with reasonable fuel economy |
And, what does it cost for a 'regular' car to get to that point? Once you get past the initial cost you drive the car everyday and you are making a difference...
