Read This Before Buying a Hybrid/Diesel/Electric

I am going for Toyota Prius mainly due to its design, features, safety and above all its marketing strategies, "having 1 tone of CO2 less than an equivalent family vehicle with a diesel engine".

Got news for you one volcano eruption puts out more CO2 than all the cars that ever existed in the history of the world ever put out...

Plus more than that weight of other even more nasty stuff.

When the Prius came out (in 2000?) the Germans didnt build one because they couldnt believe anyone would be dumb enough to buy one when they could buy a diesel engine car and use cheaper fuel in it.

That has changed...
