Hybrids are an interesting proposition but their total "emission" cycle is a disaster.
Recently a saw several articles showing several cases where 10 year old Prius in good condition where going to be scraped because to replace the battery would cost more $ than the value of the vehicle.
My teenager sons drive a 16 year old bimmer and a 10 year old Mazda.
The bimmer is a guzzler but the Mazda with more than 106K miles still does 24mpg in city and 45mpg on highway but BOTH still have some value for resale and have (knock on wood
) many years of service.... Talk about recycling !!!
