Gas Prices
Planning Ahead This graph was generated using data from actual fill-ups over the past 6.75 years in Minnesota. It
was added to the document simply for the benefit of Prius (and other hybrid) owners, to make them
feel better about their purchase decision. Rather than believing the so-called experts that claimed
this would never happen to the price of gas, the owners planned ahead.
With traffic conditions steadily growing worse and the population ever increasing, anticipating
continued high demand is very realistic. So expecting prices to return back to the way they were
not too long ago is not wise. And along with the MPG benefit from a hybrid like Prius, you also
get significantly reduced emissions.
