If I drive 12000 miles per year, Corolla (30 mpg) would need 400
> gallons of fuel. Prius (40mpg) about 300 gallons. Difference is 100
> gallons, let's say $500.
The cabbies here tell me they get: -9 l/100 (26 mpUSg) with the Corolla and
-6 l/100 (39 mpUSg) with the Prius. This is all urban driving.
Got a lot of opinions Josh, how about facts, the Prius will NOT run on a failed battery pack and cabbies have heavy feet, it is part of the job.....however, don't you see the contradiction in your two statements that the battery packs fail in three to five years yet they are usesd as high mileage taxies....of course you don't see that, after all, you have been told all of these things and after all drove a prius once admittedly overloaded. Oh well, this is the internet, these are things you have heard or read so of course they must be true fact.
