It's not really about mileage it's about image. If you are driving a VW, nobody can tell how much you really care. With a Prius, it just screams "I'm better than you because I care about the Earth"
Never mind the diesel Jetta gets way better mileage.]]>Sep 7th 2009 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/06/toyota-moves-its-two-millionth-hybrid-vehicle-ma-earth-tips-her/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/06/toyota-moves-its-two-millionth-hybrid-vehicle-ma-earth-tips-her/Thank you murmermer and Charles - exactly what I was thinking.

I've looked at some of the research on this, not with cars, but with food...I don't remember the numbers, but there is a VASTLY larger pollution effect simply driving home from the grocery store with those 5 bags of groceries than there were getting those groceries across the world to your supermarket.

It's an alluring myth, but a myth nonetheless. :)]]>Sep 7th 2009 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/06/toyota-moves-its-two-millionth-hybrid-vehicle-ma-earth-tips-her/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/06/toyota-moves-its-two-millionth-hybrid-vehicle-ma-earth-tips-her/Sep 7th 2009 12:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/06/toyota-moves-its-two-millionth-hybrid-vehicle-ma-earth-tips-her/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/06/toyota-moves-its-two-millionth-hybrid-vehicle-ma-earth-tips-her/

This is probably carrying over from the same debunked myth that a Hummer is cleaner than a Prius (I seem some commenters who are referring to the EXACT myth as if it was true, which is very frustrating since I thought engadget readers would be much more up to date).
You can google "Hummer vs Prius" debunked to see plenty of links of why this myth is wrong.

Some people here also are STILL talking about the myth about acid rain from mining nickel for the Prius (which has since also been debunked, since the town Sudbury, Ontario cleaned up in 1970s, and the pictures for it was from before then; it's even getting aiming at getting 97% cleaner by 2015 and the Pruis only uses 0.5% of it's nickel output).

For those really lazy, here's an article that talks about both myths:
http://www.thecarconnection.com/article/1010861_prius-versus-hummer-exploding-the-myth

Also people completely ignore the fact automobile batteries are almost 90% recycled (one of the most successful recycling programs in history), and the large batteries in the Pruis is HIGHLY UNLIKELY to be different, since you can't just easy throw such a heavy battery in the trash and Toyota offers a money for it.
