There was a news report from the phoenix area recently that stated that it would take about 4 years for a Prius owner to benefit or make it worth it financially from the cost of buying one because of the mark up on the stock price. It was like an additional 4 thousand dollars. You would have to keep one of those cars for about 10 years before you would be saving some serious $ assuming you 100% finance one verses a conventional engine.
