But you can't buy the same mileage for half price (in the longer run), because anything done to increase the mileage of a non-hybrid can be done to the hybrid as well, boosting its mileage by the same ratio. So if you could build a 60 mpg Corolla today, you could use the same tech to build a 100 mpg Prius.
