Default Re: Hybrid Cars

Hi,

I just got here (logged on for about an hour now) and the Prius question has intrigued me also; first thing - I would wait until the crush is over, I mean used Prii (Priuses?) sell for more than a new one, this makes no sense at all. I heard there is a mod out that allows you recharge the Prius batteries from household current, which should up the mpg. The other thing, in order for purchasing a new car to make sense, you have to keep it for at least 10 years (my personal calculation, not official). I bought a brand new car in '88 and I still have it - it is a Toyota Corola All-trak with almost 200k miles.

Oops, I walked away for awhile - I had better post this.
