I drove a 1988 Honda CRX HF for 13 years. I got 210,000 miles out of it. It was not an electric car, nor a hybrid, and yet I got 45 mpg with that car. The Prius averages 41 mpg, so the mileage I got out of a non-electric car was better than that of a hybrid. Why? Because it was the size of a rollerskate. I didn't have to replace any $3000 batteries, but I had to spend thousands of dollars on chiropractic.

I bought a Honda CRX Xi in Phoenix in 1985. Drove it for four years and 150,000 miles. Not one penny in maintence except for oil changes. (Shocks and brakes fairly worn but that went to the next owner). My back is fine. BTW, I sold it with the original battery.
