I've seen similar numbers elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>But I think you notice something else important, which is the that monetary value is not the only value to consider when buying a car. There is also the safety value, the aesthetic value, the convenience value, and (although you didn't explicitly mention it) the environmental value. It sounds like based on your weighing each of these, the Prius wins.timothy paul yenterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12602890419425293381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499998.post-1137338914957132772006-01-15T08:28:00.000-07:002006-01-15T08:28:00.000-07:00Thank you for noting the correct plural "Priora" even if you didn't use it. <BR/><BR/>And though I have been through this logic with you numerous times before, I appreciate seeing it all laid out in an organized fashion, math equations and all. Thanks for not going out and buying the first spiffy Hummer you fall in love with.Elizabeth Wicklandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06145359546966943209noreply@blogger.com
