What is its carbon footprint now?

I pulled up behind a fairly new Prius with dealer tags on it this morning at a 4-way stop.

As it pulled away, I saw blue smoke (bad oil rings?) rolling out of the tailpipe.

As these cars age and the batteries go kaput, what will the mileage be like?

In the future, I suspect that the 'green' parents who bought these cars will be handing the keys to the kids, and the kids will be burning around town getting 20-22MPG while hauling a dead battery (boat anchor) around town.

It's a car not a science experiment! Open the throttle!
