Read it and weep

I know that the euro market is about 3x our cost as far as fuel. that is why I wouldn't move

also, the insight does get better MPG but now you deal with batteries and they don't make them anymore. I know the prius needs it batteries swapped every 5-10 years at a cost of 3+k which makes me not want a hybrid. also it makes fixing it yourself almost not possible or not worth it. plus the added cost of the hybrid vs conventional vehicles. if that vehicle was made in the states, they could probably sell it for half that cost. there again they wouldn't recoup the initial investment thus we won't see it.

mostly due to people that don't like the diesels. as stated in the report
