great posting John, I love My Prius's , my 07 just gave me the big bad salute from the hybrid batteries! 213,000 abused miles and she still is on factory regenerative brakes! For how this vehicle was driven like a V-8 it's probably more realistic to 300k miles on the drive train! That being said, I would also say that one would want to figure in upkeep on various vehicles find out what the real bargain is! I can't imagine dollar for dollar beating Toyota 's reliability and economy! While I talk w/Chevy Volt owners and have been told they only Lease them so the problems are passed on to another owner down the uhhhh Road! Moving a bunch of items from Montana to Cal something blocked the vent for Inverter Cooler, so I had that replaced in Utah at a Toyota Dealership where a Mechanic had same year 2nd Generation Prius w/over 600,000 miles on it, meticulously kept up! Sure I would love to see the list of repairs he's done to it in the past 11 years! Anyway, I'm off track, loved your Article... I don't buy into the 100+mpge mileage they boast! I've been to the gas station w/friends to see their cars computer say more realistic 37-39 in fuel usage! So please explain top folks the mpgE so they realize its really not miles per gallon and Please emphasize there is a cost and hassle w/Electricity as well! .... God Bless America
