The Prius battery is very light in fact.

Now imagine the fuel consumption you'd get from a comparable performance
diesel of the same weight saving build instead of the poor 24 mpg of a
hard driven Prius?

I thought curbs were only used on horses? Speak English...

Dribble doesn't speak but quotes...

As for the weight, you're saying it weighs rather more than a
hundredweight...

And the tiny range on battery only could be replaced by a few pints of
diesel.
