[quote=svelte][quote=EmilyHicks]This data is deaths per 100 mil cars which is not the same as death per 100 mil miles driven because we know that Prius drivers on average drive a lot more than an average drivers hence the need for a Prius.

Actually, I just did 3 searches for all 2008 Civics, Mazda3s, and Prius within 100 miles of San Marcos on AutoTrader.
When I added their mileages and divided by number of cars, here is what I found:
So Prius averages 2,200 more miles per year. Higher mileage cars usually have freeway miles. Freeways are safer than other roads. Extra miles probably a wash when factoring in more freeway miles?
