When that is compared with the horrible gas mileage of an H2 i think they said it was more economical to own an H2 for 5 years than a Prius for the same time period, or somehting along that line...

You are talking about Carbon Footprint. While H2 gets 1/3 the gas milage a Prius does, the damage to the enviroment that it takes to put together each prius does far more damage then the H2's production + poor gas milage combined.
And now think about the legal costs when your Prius doesnt stop, and you hit a bus full of children...what a shame.
