But with the cost of everything being so high, I just learn to deal with it. (I also have soft semi racing tires on the car, not really affordable to drive 10K a year on it)
Don't two cars cost more than just one, even if the one burns more gas? I'd be suprised if anyone can do a cost of ownership analysis for 5 years, splitting mileage between a Prius and Z, and show that there is a cost savings by owning the two cars and driving the Prius instead of the Z for say 75% of the miles (or whatever), compared to just owning the Z.
