For a budget like yours and little mechanical ability, I'd advise you to straight up avoid the Prius and look for something simple like a Corolla....
They aren't all bad. Not even most of them. But the ones available for purchase aren't so hot, which is exactly why they're available. Everyone...
Citing oilprice.com makes it appear that you are quoting the fox on the status of the henhouse, and taking his word for it. My point here is that...
Just a reminder that we've been propping up the petroleum industry with tax breaks and other subsidies for 100ish years now. I haven't heard of...
safety plug all the way in? you pop it in, flip it closed and then slide it. 3 steps or no joy.

Let's assume for a moment that those fuel/maintenance/insurance costs are real. That's a $158 spread between the Corolla and the Prius. Go talk...
I'd say you already missed this party. They were nice big highway cruisers, but the good days are past and now most of these are worn down and...
Here it is as a math problem. Very rough spreadsheet sketch of annual fuel cost. Annual miles driven on the left column, car MPG across the top....
There's more competition for them, but there are also many more of them. Sorta balances out.
I mean that's great, but consider the fact that he was saying that about one bought new and aged-into-gracefully. IMO that is the one good way to...
