Your guess on the taxes are about exactly right but the crib costs more. I'm thinking about buying the very unattractive 2009 Prius to compensate. Some current hybrids arent much cheaper than an efficient normal car when you consider how much the batteries cost to replace but the new one is supposed to be better. I think I might regret it. I'm not broke, just cheap. And they are so ugly.
