[QUOTE="Lue C Fur, post: 723613, member: 25159"] You plug the Volt into the wall to charge it...where does that electricity come from? Thats right...an electric plant fueled by coal...and your electric bill goes up but your gas bill goes down...so instead of smoke out your tail pipe its smoke out of a smoke stack. Any guess on which is cleaner? Todays gasoline engines are super efficiant and super clean. If Americans really want to save money, gas, and the enviroment then get onboard with clean diesel engines. Also the Prius is around 25k when all is said and done and a Honda Civic is around 18k., the Honda gets around 35mpg and the Prius around 45mpg...if you do the math with gas savings and cost of the cars it will take many years to break even on the Prius. Now check out the current VW diesel which gets 41mg and costs around 22k...IMO we need more diesels over here like Japan and Europe. [/QUOTE]
