I did have an extra "not" in there. Good catch.

So has anyone ever rented a Hybrid anything off of priceline and the name your own price model?

At 24 mpg, for 650 miles round trip, 4 bucks a gallon, I get $108 for using your car. 35mpg corolla costs $74, 45 mpg prius costs $58. If the prius costs more than $16 more than the corolla (bet on it), either the novelty or enviromental consciousness is worth the expense, or you're wasting green being green.
