way to save the world, ktvu.
tonight on the 10pm news, ktvu ran a story about hybrid cars and whether or not the added cost was really such a great deal for drivers or if it was a bunch of “hybrid hype”. the report included statistics which calculated that recouping the additional cost of buying a prius, for example, would take you something like 3.5 years in the money you’d save on gas.
first of all, someone needs to be punched in the mouth for “hybrid hype”. second, i think someone needs to explain the concept of “long term cost” to these douchebags. given that they also ran a ticker story this morning noting that a barrel of oil may soon hit $200, even if you rule out the cost of burning the planet to a cinder, i think your math is screwed. lastly, take the train or ride a bike. or god forbid, walk.
now if you’ll excuse me i need to drive 10 blocks over the hill to go buy a latte.
