The question I always have is that how much are you going to save in gas over buying a Corolla over time. Will you save the difference in the price of the car?
Obviously a Las Vegas cab driver who puts on 379,000 miles in a few years is going to make out very well but living here in the Villages where most of use a golf cart for much of our local travel would I really save? I put 7,000 miles on my car last year. At 20 mph that's 350 gallons of gas. At $3.50 a gallon thats $1,225. If I do that over eight years ( the expected lifespan of the batteries I will have spent $9800. I would only save a portion of that if I were to buy a Prius.

Why would you only be doing 20 mph?
