I didn't know premium fuel is required. That adds to the cost of ownership. Factoring ~$4k for a replacement battery, I now see how hybrids & electrics cost more money than they save in the long run, at present.

Battery replacement costs:
Prius: ~$3k
LEAF: ~$8.8k

Anyone know what the Prius Prime battery costs to replace out of warranty?
