Default Re: Hybrids worse than Tahoe

I really don't get it all

Example:
How can a $65k Hummer H2 be about the same money factor compared to a $30k Toyota Prius assuming they both last 200k miles (dust-to-dust)? Can somebody elaborate please.

In fact here's a question from one of my co-workers already. He owns an Infiniti FX-45:

"I think there is a big flaw in the analysis of this data.
I looked at a few Nissan products with the same power trains.

The, FX35/45 $3.029 most FX?s are 3.5 L but some are 4.5 L ,
Murano $2.510 has the 3.5 L V-6,
350Z $2.193 has the 3.5 L V-6
G35 $1.777 has the 3.5 L V-6
Some Altimas have 3.5 L V-6s and others have 2.5L 4 cyl Altima $1.381
There is some fuel economy differences, but not a whole lot.
I would like a table so we could see how much of this energy cost is fuel, batteries, waste disposal, and materials on each car.
The fuel costs have to be way out of line. At $3.00 per gallon and 15 mpg, I get $0.20 per mile.
Top cost on a $45,000 car over 150,000 miles is $0.30 for car plus $0.20 for fuel which is $0.50 per mile.
I suppose we could add a little for oil changes, tires, and parts over the car lifetime, but insurance and the like are not energy costs. Every energy cost per mile far exceeds my quick and dirty maximum cost analysis. I looked at total dollars spent that could be attributed to energy costs, so either I am missing something, this study is seriously flawed or is propaganda. There are a lot of flat earth society type reports, so it is hard to separate the truth from fiction."
