1. ? Says

   LOL….. probably because your scenario epitomizes the thinking of the left….

2. Huh? Says

   It has been a long time since I’ve seen this rant. Someone used to troll with this story all the time and it really got tedious. But I haven’t seen it in some time so please don’t where it out and re-post it over and over again. That becomes nauseating.

   Your sarcasm fails because on average, liberals who buy prius’ are richer than republicans or conservatives.

4. That Guy Says

   I really hope this is a sarcastic question….cause it’s the only explanation for the stupidity of it.

   Good laugh.
   You should add that Gov. Motors spends about $70,000 to build a Volt.
   It is Already subsidized and they Still can’t sell what no one wants.

    I’m a real Volt owner. So let’s compare your invented example to my real-life story. You forgot to consider the cost of gasoline versus electricity, for one thing. It’s gas that’s becoming unaffordable.
    *
    The Volt costs about $32,000 after rebates. I traded in a car worth about 12,000, so that left $20,000 which was financed over six years.
    *
    At 2.9%, my monthly payment is $315.
    *
    Now let’s look at savings. I drive a fairly average 15,000 miles per year, 13,000 worth of short trips, and the rest medium to long trips.
    *
    In my old car – which got about 24mpg city 32 highway, I paid about $2200 for gasoline, for a years worth of driving ($183 per month).
    *
    In the volt, most of those miles are on electricity, and a few are on the Volt’s gasoline engine. My electric rate (an off-peak rate for charging overnight) is 7 cents per KWH, and the Volt drives about 3.1 miles per KWH on average. So that’s 4838 kilowatt-hours, which costs $338 for a year of driving ($28 per month).
    *
    That’s a fuel cost savings of $155 every month. So it’s like my car payment is $155 less every month. I have the same monthly cash outlay as somebody with a $160 car payment.
    *
    $160 per month. Does that sound unaffordable? It might be even better. Because the higher gas goes, the better deal the Volt becomes. Just extrapolating the current rate of gasoline price increases will probably put the cost of gas close to $6 per gallon by the time my car is paid off.
    *
    Volt. The car for people who can do math.
