That's pretty funny.................That HAS to be another "industry first" for the Prius !!!

 

And I bet the premium keeps going up. Or more correctly, I bet those cars lose less value than the non-sticker cars will.

I even remember suggesting to someone that was thinking about getting the sticker to get it even if they don't want to use it. They could then put them on the car, sell the car and buy a new one with no out of pocket expense after a year.

 

Ironic from my point of view - I rarely take advantage of mine. I prefer to tough it out in the slow lane. There's where you can jack up mpg.

Though I've not been above taking advantage of this ticket to the fast lane.

4000 bucks, huH?

Hmmm.
