"One last fun fact for you: it takes five years to offset the premium price of a Prius. Meaning, you have to wait 60 months to save any money over a non-hybrid car because of lower gas expenses"

So, at 20,000 miles per year (55 miles per day) with a life span of 5 years, the Prius is on its last legs just as the humungo savings appear on the horizon.

LOL!

We've had our Prius for 6 years, and we've only had to replace tires. We haven't even needed to change the oil in it.

I don't get the 5 year life span. We're not even close to getting rid of it.
