OT-Why I still hate the Prius

[EconProf]

A little too harsh here on Prius owners, and, lets face it guys, you are bitter about the gas saving they are getting compared to your vehicle. I’d guess Prius drivers are more likely to drive conservatively and have a lower incidence of hitting bicyclists than other cars.
I once rode my bike to MN. I quickly learned my greatest threats were young guys in pickups and old ladies in Buicks. The first group had it in for me; the second never saw me.

I’m really not bitter at all about the gas savings a Prius gets compared to my bicycle. Now if Toyota could harness the gas I have while riding, that would indeed be impressive!

I’m harsh on Prius drivers because of the way they treat me when I share the road with them. I am also harsh on pickups/SUV’s for the same reason. And honestly, if gas savings were really my only issue I’d buy a VW diesel.

Just wondering, what if all Americans drove vehicles that got Prius-like gas mileage? How much would US oil consumption fall by? How much would gasoline prices fall by? Would this change our foreign policy for the better? Our defense committments in the Middle East? Would NavyDocs still be as frequently deployed?
The fact is, drivers of gas-guzzlers should thank Prius drivers (and bicyclists).
And realistically, it is the drivers of behemoths who are less likely to share the road with bicyclists than the more agile and controllable small vehicles.

WTF dude. If I wanted a Prius, I could buy one today! (shakes his head)

Also, I mentioned this thread to my wife and she went off on a tirade about Priuses (and she is hard to get riled), stating they cut her off regularly then go slow. I was shocked at her reaction!

If a car attracts a$$hole drivers, they are gonna take the wrath of cyclists and other drivers…
