Hybrids Are Not The Only Answer

Hybrids are not for everyone, but anyone can make responsible choices. For enthusiasts who want to find some enjoyment in driving, there are alternatives! Too many people believe that a Prius is somehow going to print money and put it in their pocket every time they fill up. The Prius is not, as some would like you to believe, the last word in fuel economy. There are other options, and better solutions for those of us that actually care about what we drive.

And remember kids... don't buy a hybrid to save money!

According to this article at autoblog.com, hybrids not only cost more to buy, but they also cost more to fix. And that's just general repairs, with no mention made of battery pack costs.

On the bright side, if your Prius does break down and you can't afford to fix it because the monthly payments on it's over-inflated sticker price are draining your bank account, you could always just leave it parked in your driveway and use it to power your fridge, stove, or other appliances.
