    I think you would be very happy with a new Prius.

    $8 a day is expensive for a 2 mile one way trip. Would you consider a bike? Or an electric motorcycle?

    I think you'll be happy with a Prius - but by the time the engine warms up, you'll be at your destination which means you'll likely be running off ICE the majority of your trips.

    Chic alors! Moi je suis originaire de Paris. J'habite les E-U depuis 1948!
    Ca fait plaisir de retrouver un Francais sur Prius Chat!

    I just remembered that I'm posting this on a site read by many who may not understand French. I couldn't resist saying a few words in the mother tongue:
    I wrote that I was from Paris and have been living in the US since 1948 and that I was pleased to meet a fellow Frenchman on Prius Chat.
