If you’re trying to be green, buy a bike.
The Prius isn’t as green as you think, since the materials needed to produce and recycle a battery are extremely toxic, and damaging to the planet.
And while diesels have gotten cleaner, they aren’t that clean.
All in all, the TDI costs less, gets better mileage, and is a heck of a lot more satisfying to drive.
But a bike is much, much, much greener, and will help you feel better about the world.
BC.
