Let&#8217;s just say the average American drives 12,000 miles a year, and the average gallon of gas costs $2.75.\u00a0We could save ourselves a decent chunk of change with the Prius. Even though the\u00a0Prius is slightly more expensive, with the amount of complaints we have seen\u00a0about the Insight, it makes the price worth it. Honda\u00a0needs to step their game up.\u00a0They have already worked up a new advertisement campaign for the Insight, and they are also looking farther into the future in hopes of eclipsing the famed Prius. Honda CEO Takanobu Ito alledgedly has told his researchers to develop a hybrid that has a better miles per gallon rating than the world&#8217;s most beloved hybrid(Prius). If the the next hybrid is going to be an improvement to the already establish Insight or a brand new design is unknown right now but its going to have to be something quite impressive to knock off the reigning champ.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/5cgOC8DCPfxHnPeYasOgBHh3I-8\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/5cgOC8DCPfxHnPeYasOgBHh3I-8\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/5cgOC8DCPfxHnPeYasOgBHh3I-8\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/5cgOC8DCPfxHnPeYasOgBHh3I-8\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honda is planning on giving the Toyota Prius a challenge&#8230;..again.
