[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 1701746, member: 52145"] I have been having this argument for years with people. which is more green? a 40,000 dollar prius that gets 45 mpg with the cost of raw materials and the and the carbon imprint and the cost to replace batteries down the road or.... my 1984 vehicle which cost me 650 dollars 13 years ago and gets 35-40 mpg, runs clean according to the smog report that I get every 2 years and spare parts are cheap at the local pick n pull? consumer reports has an article every year about the cost of owning a new car for the first 5 years. I think the average is 25,000 to 40,000 for those years. my cost for the last 13 years has been 4 cents a mile for maintenance and about another 20 cents a mile gasoline , insurance etc. that's less than half the cost compared to new. so which is greener?
