Dunno why the volume of hate is so great upon the Pious. Sure, you can get cars that get similar mileage on the highway, but the hybrids stomp in the city.
On the other hand, when my parents were shopping for a car, I reviewed the Fusion hybrid vs gasoline models. The purchase premium was too high to justify the Fusion hybrid. Would have taken well over 100k miles to break even. The reason being the hybrid traded near sticker and the gas versions were well under invoice. It would be interesting to see a comparison of the Prius hybrid and an identical Prius gasoline model.

Wasn't the genI Prius and Echo almost the same car?
