Driving a Prius 100k miles @45 mpg gas @ $2.50 costs $5555

Thats saves >$2000. So you STILL have $8000 in outlay to recover. That wont happen till 400,000 MORE miles. (@$2.50 a gallon)

Am I wrong?

Love it. Agreed, the Prius and the Yaris shouldn't be compared though, as others also pointed out - unless you're talking to the idiot who "bought a Prius to save money on gas" for that idea alone

Or the idiot's cousin who spent $4000 on a scooter to do the same. Not only are you out $4000, but that's a helluva hit to the image to overcome...
