I always a look at acceleration when comparing cars, a slower car is
always more economical.
Prius 0-60 in 10 secs.
Focus 1.6 petrol (the next car in the table) 0-60 in 10.8. (If I have
the right engine)
The Prius saves you £150 in fuel, and costs you an extra grand in
depreciation. Not to mention the environmental problems of battery
disposal.
Prius us about a moderately economical car *in a country where you can't
easily get diesel*. Cue USA... Over here a diesel is a better bet.
Aren't we a bit OT?
