I hope I am not contributing to a new urban legend,
but two acquaintances of mine, who watch TV in
Duluth, Minnesota have reported a program they
saw in which all hybrid cars were verbally trashed
and the Prius in particular. They say that it stated
that manufacturers lie about mileage, that hybrids
never do better than the low 30s mpg, that the
Prius just stops operating frequently, and that hybrids
are so high priced that one will never recover their
bloated costs no matter how high gasoline prices go!!!
My Prius cost less than a run-of-the-mill Chevy and
I currently get 50+ mpg.
Has anyone heard this broadcast? Is it sponsored
by Exxon-Mobil or GM? Sounds really wacky, but
“wacky” is not unusual these days.
