Prius wasnt gunna make its money back anyway. Most owners paid thousands over sticker for them. Its a status symbol.

I noticed soemthing yesterday....
I was coming back from JS's and needed gas asap. So I saw a sign for Wawa...meh, Ill give it a shot. I drive over, its 1.71 for regular!! NICE! But I dont use regular..i see 2.21 for premium. That was a little high IMO. I pull up to the pump, and its 92 octane? WTF is that?
I drove down 195 to the next exit, drove a bit and found a Hess for 2.18 for 93.
odd.

And yes, diesel is sooo much more expensive. Even with the low sulfer treatments, it shouldnt be that high at all. I think that Benz CEO is right, diesel in the US is kept this high to keep diesel vehicles off the roads.
