[quote=Anonymous]We still have our 2002 (Gen I) Prius that we bought new in 2001.  Still love it.  No battery issues.  No issues, period.  Only work on it in ten years has been one brake job, new rotors, new tires, and regular maintenance.

We buy gas about once a month.  For ten years, that's been nice.

The folks who focus on the "payoff" when gas savings outweigh price premium are missing the point that pollution has costs, too.  Not costs to you, of course--you can belch all the exhaust into the air you want, for free.  That's the nutso system we have.  That doesn't mean it doesn't cost anyone.  Still better to use less gas, and pollute less.  But, for the happy-to-pollute penny-pinchers, yes, we've paid off the premium on ours long ago and are now just enjoying the gas savings gravy.

Am I a left-wing loon because I like using less gasoline and don't want to belch more greenhouse gas than I have to?  OK, whatever.  You can bet the folks who are quick to predict battery doom, or to pooh-pooh the possibility of any savings benefit, are right-wing Fox watchers.  Don't try to confuse them with facts.
