I’m slightly right-of-center and do not fit a lot of the profile of a Toyota Prius driver. We also have a smaller SUV in order to be able to carry larger loads. The wife and a I alternate weeks, each driving the Prius and our other vehicle. We bought the Prius purely for reasons of economics AND politics. We want to do our share in not sending as many dollars over to dictatorships and Islamic regimes, and we want to save money for other things. The Prius gets us, depending on the conditions, weather, and the kinds of roads we are on, between 45 and 52 mpg. Our other vehicle, half that.
It’s mostly a practical rather than an ideological reason why we drive the Toyota Prius. These personality traits are mostly laughable. I get a real kick when I read about those who strut and boast about their owning a Toyota Prius, but turn around and use air transportation that has an enormous carbon footprint and not very fuel efficient at that. Plus their many homes. Gasbags all of them… Liberals/Leftists are such idiots that we cannot see through their act.
