Yes, you did lie, for example saying that large numbers of hybrid batteries are going to fail, that Toyota won't honor their warranties and people are going to have to take out large loans for replacements. The Prius & Honda Insight have been around for nine years now (average car lifespan is about 10 years, IIRC), lots of them on the road, very few battery problems, most of those covered by warranties which have been honored and even extended beyond the original date. For the few who aren't covered by warranty (salvage titles and such), replacement batteries are available from salvage yards for a few hundred dollars. These are matters of checkable facts, not opinion.
You lied again, in stating that "...facts are facts and we all know the big oil run our world...". Sorry, but I don't know any such thing. You may believe it - that's your right - but claiming that I share that opinion is just a lie.

Nope. I'm pissed because you called me a moron. I shelled out some of my money (I'll not claim that it was "hard-earned", though) for a hybrid. Had it for going on six years now, about 85K miles of hard driving, mostly in mountains & desert. I've averaged over 70 mpg, can go 700 miles or so between fillups which never cost over $40 even when gas was at its highest, spend less on insurance & registration than with my previous car (which was pretty cheap), haven't spent more than a few hundred on maintenace & repairs, and it's fun to drive. This makes me a moron?
