Well, the folks that feel smug about the Prius aren't actually running the numbers. Instead they just, uhm, "know" that it's making a difference, just like they, uhm "know" that carbon offsets will make a difference, and that, "you know", man is going to *destroy* the planet.

It's not about th emath, it's about the emotion...
