My Fiesta gets mileage quite close to that of a Prius.

How could I justify purchasing a new Prius and relinquishing my Fiesta?

I gather it's like $14k for my Fiesta and 24k + for the Prius. I'm all for saving money so if you Prius owners can tell me mathematically how the Prius is advantageous, I might go get one. Even if I add a manufacturers extended warranty for a couple thousand to ward off the "lower quality" argument, I just can't see it. Help me.

Thanks in advance for being precise in your replies, as generalities can be had anywhere.
