I wonder about that. The local cab companies have taken to using the
Prius and the drivers tell me you cannot wear them out.
Probably a good urban car for stop and go traffic.
Most of the cabs here would not be driven much over 50 mph as we do not
have freeways.
Don't think I want one for
Now that is very interesting. I would actually consider buying one of
those 250s, that is amazing mpg from a e class, which is 50 times the
car of a stupid Prius.

It'll have to be a 2014 if you want 45mpg hwy.
The 2013 is a e350 and rated 32mpg hwy. I guess the bluetick isn't as
efficient as
Guy I know regularly exceeds 45 mpg in his E350. He drives with a very
light foot, but gets far better than the advertised mileage.

The E250 got 40 mpg with Road and Track employees at the wheel, including a run
up to the top speed of a Prius. Imagine what it would do
IMO these were the most telling comments on the trial:
The earlier comment on differences between diesel fuel and gasoline are
worth repeating. A gallon of diesel fuel typical releases about 15% more
thermal energy than a gallon of gasoline when burned. So comparing
gallons of
I bet... I drove a 4matic E250bt a few times and managed nearly 40mpg with
out even trying. Awesome car.

They need to do a cost comparison on the two cars. I'm sure the MB
costs a lot more, and the $/mi cost for fuel is a tad higher, and
overall cost of ownership is probably higher on the Benz. But I am sure
it is a much better ride when factoring in all the creature features.

Maybe, but the Prius has those expensive batteries, what is the life span of
those?

Good point. It would be interesting to see life-cycle cost comparisons
of similar high-mileage (or would that be high fuel economy?) cars.
I rented a nice little diesel wagon in Spain a coupla years ago, I think
that thing was doing about 40mpg give or take if I recall, maybe high
30s. Was
You need to consider the entire life cycle of the cars - the MB will likely
go twice the number of miles that the Prius will - thus the cost
differences equal out. IIRC, Toyotaparts are often more expensive than the
corresponding MB parts, if you buy from other than the dealers.
Besides, it's not
