Explain something to me please..

The idea of a hybrid is that much of its energy comes from a non-petroleum source.

However, take good care of it. A Prius, for example, with so much of it made outside the US where environmental controls are lax, takes till 100,000 km or approx 67,000 miles before it begins to make up for the large environmental footprint its manufacture created.

Hopefully this will change in the future.

Toyota is building a plant here in the US to make the Prius. Won't be long, now.
