    Dude. You had to spend $9,000 on a 6 year old battery in a short range car. I have a 2008 Prius with 249,000 miles on it, I change the oil myself, and I’ve spent a total of $3,800 on it, not counting fluid changes that I do at home. You spent more on a battery than I buy vehicles for.

      It’s not a contest. The point was that there are affordable ways to go electric, so you’re just supporting my argument. Congrats on deushing your own oil, but where did you buy 5000+ gallons of gas for less than $3,800?
