Like most hybrids, it's low cost of ownership comes at the expense of the public taxpayer in the form of federal tax credits to it's owners and to toyota thru the sale of carbon credits to big oil.

That's not exactly being "green".
Where in the U.S. is anyone selling carbon credits?

Edit- I'm generally at ~15-25 cents/mile depending on how much I end up paying for maintenance in a given year.
