    Hi Kids,

    After paying 4.10 a gallon for premium unleaded, I started thinking and doing some math. I'm pretty sure i'm ridding myself of one of my IS 300s in favor of a Prius! My brother in law has one and loves it. I'm shopping right now for one and have my Lexus on Craigslist. Wish me luck!

    You're a bit behind the curve, as gas prices go up so do Prius prices, Good Luck!

    Good luck to ya!

    Just make sure this is what you really want. It's hard seeing people buy a new car only because of gas prices then see them dump the car when gas prices drop. That's a lot of wasted money and effort. :)

    Hi Pops. You will find awsome deals on 2011 models. Get the 2012 while they're hot. Good luck and may the Prius "force be with you."

    I guess I was sort of lucky in my situation... Having my car's radiator fan dying on me prompted me to consider a new car. So in this case, I went to go get a Prius and went with the Prius v for the space. Now gas prices are going up.

    Buy the car because you love it, not because gas is 4 or 5 bucks.
