I laugh at myself....LOL

[dtmcnamara]

I am selling my S2000 to get a Prius....LOL I still cannot believe it.

But then again if you look at the figures.

S2000 MPG's avg. 26
Prius MPG's avg. 45

I do 600 miles a week so with the S thats about 23 gallons of gas, while with the Prius its about 14. Multiply that by 52 weeks and thats 1196 gallons for the S and 728 for the Prius.

Then if you work out the price difference thats $3800 for the s2000 and $1900 for the Prius. DAMN thats almost $2000 a year in just gas and thats only doing 45 MPG's. Realistically i would be seeing 50 so the savings only look better.

Shit the car would actually pay for itself in almost 8 years...LOL

O well. Laugh all you want. I will hopefully be riding about at 50-60 miles per gallon. Saving $$$ for either another bike, or another S....Only time will tell

[PSINXS]

that aint funny. i want me a gas saver now too. never know when it willg et outta control again. sometimes u jsut gotta let the game go till you get your bux up.

[dtmcnamara]

i think i am finally growing up because thats exactly what made me change my mind....that and I saw how much I spend for gas each month....it makes me sick

[Evil Goat]

haha....gas 2 cities over from me was $1.86/gallon at ingles....i enjoy my 15.5mpg

[SiRed94]

I think I'm doing the exact opposite of everyone else and buying a car that gets about half the gas mileage that all of my other cars get. LS400

[Nittanys1]

u should trade me your S for my subaru wagon then sell the wagon to get the Prius!

[Alan®]

Just out of curiosity have you researched operating costs etc. For a prius because typically its hella more expensive than you would think. get a diesel golf and call it a day.

[PSINXS]

^u got a lot of boost.

but i got a family now so, i'm retiring till i finish school. then i wont care what my gas mileage is cuz I'll money!!!

[redrumracer]

ya know in the long run it will actually be more expensive.

[Alan®]

ya know in the long run it will actually be more expensive.

That's what I'm saying just get a Diesel golf. Cheaper in the long run

[Catnip]

my civic gets 35mpg... trade me

[Crazy Asian]

I got a Honda Accord but for some odd reason I think the Prelude got better gas mileage. Then again this brand spanking new.

[collins]

fuck conserving gas... if i ever decide to sell the goat (which might not be that far off, actually...) i'm gettin a truck.

[dtmcnamara]

ya know in the long run it will actually be more expensive.

i dont think so. I am looking at a certified 08 with 5K miles...still has 5 year 60k mile warranty on the engine and powertrain and 6 year 100,000 mile warranty on the electric engine.

after 5 years if I still have it I think it would pay for itself and any MAJOR problems with the car would either be A. worth fixing, or B. worth selling at a low price, because:

THE BITCH GETS 50 MILES PER GALLON!!!!

[collins]

just be careful when you near the 100k mark... i hear the battery replacement is about 10g's

[osnap]

heres a hybrid id rock...




WAIIIIIIT FOR IIIIIIT....

[Nittanys1]

but is it still a "hybrid" after that?

[Catnip]

but is it still a "hybrid" after that?

an insight with a K20 is pretty hybrid to me... lol

[osnap]

but is it still a "hybrid" after that?

well its a hybrid in that its a hybrid motor swap haha.

supposedly because of the weight and aerodynamics it still gets 40+ mpg. google "k20 insight" or "k-sight", too lazy to find a link.

[Nittanys1]

uhh duh,....i was asking if its still a true hybird after that...its called a rhetorical question...

[Nittanys1]

yeah but it still is a gas engine...not a "hybrid"

[Catnip]

uhh duh,....i was asking if its still a true hybird after that...its called a rhetorical question...

Do you wanna get with me?


the question is rhetorical

[Alan®]

I always wondered if it would fit. Guess I have my answer. Reps if I can. That bitch would be a hell of a sleeper.

[osnap]

...i know this. im saying its a HYBRID in that its a motor from one car swapped into a different car. that is, by definition, technically a hybrid. lol.

[osnap]

I always wondered if it would fit. Guess I have my answer.

LOL im not even touching this one.

[Nittanys1]

yeah i know that its a hybrid with that engine in it...the thread started due to him wanting to get a hybrid...ill stop using "..." as those seem to not be understood

Do you wanna get with me?

[osnap]

...you're completely missing my point, but im too tired to try and clarify. not really worth it anyways lol. night IA.

[Nittanys1]
