That and that in traffic jams the engine doesn't need to run at all.
Has anyone done comparative tests for 10-mile tailbacks? :-)

If all cars were the Prius in the centre of cities, the noise would be
vastly reduced and the pollution cleaned up dramatically.

Is the centre of a city the only important place? It would also be even
quieter and less polluted if everyone walked or rode bikes.

When you get
out of a Prius into another car they look so dated inside.

Just keep your eyes closed while making the transition. It must be the
ugliest car around.

The Honda hybrids are also very cheap to run too.

But Honda had the sense to use a proper engine. As do Lexus. Only the
Prius uses that gutless wonder.
