Prius vs Corolla – Which Makes More Economic Sense?

A frequent commenter here on TundraHeadquarters.com (shout out to mk) posited an interesting thought: It makes more economic sense to buy a new Toyota Corolla than it does to buy a new Prius, because it would take years of driving and gas savings to recover the cost difference between the two.

Said another way, the $5500 price difference between the Prius and the Corolla buys a lot of gas. Right?

While I was completely inclined to agree with this idea, I decided it might be fun to run the numbers. Here’s how I broke things down.
