Yeah, the Toyota Prius is the best Hybrid car available. It's actually a really good car as well ... the first Hybrid car to not be a piece of shit.

THe thing is, if you drive a Hybrid car like any other car, then you're going to get essentially the same gas mileage. If you do only city driving, then you'll get great gas mileage because it'll run on the battery for like 85% of the time and using the breaks will automatically recharge the battery. If you do a lot of highway driving, though, then you won't see any more of a difference than you would in a similarly classed car.

This is the first generation of hybrids that haven't been a scam.

You came to Massachusetts and you didn't visit me.......

Well, I probably wouldn't have let you into my apartment anyway.
