Prius Vs. Pickup

Prius Vs. Pickup General Comments Not that too many people are actually buying new vehicles these days….but here is something to consider. With high gas prices, a car that gets 45mpg seems like an obvious choice and financially savvy. With high gas prices, a truck that only gets 20 mpg seems like a stupid choice. You can buy a new Toyota Prius hybrid for about $22,000 - that is if you can find one on the lot. Alternatively, you can buy a new Toyota Tacoma pickup truck for about $15,000.
