雖然文件已有七年歷史，而預測的又是十多年後的情況，但對比目前，數據仍具有參考價值。

簡言之，縱使鋁不是製造現今混燃車的主要物料，但只要是每年行 20,000 公里，行足 15 年 (即是 300,000 公里)，它依然是最有能源效益的車。就算是電池車或燃料電池車，除非技術有重大突破，否則它們也不及混燃車。

在美國，Toyota Prius 的混燃相關零件有 8 years/100,000 miles (160,000 kilometers) 的保用；在加州及部分州份更長達 10 years/150,000 miles (240,000 kilometers)。

Toyota – Hybrid Hype? Fact and Fiction Surrounding the New Technology
http://www.toyota.com/about/environment/technology/2004/hybrid.html

Toyota 根據實驗數據指出車行了 180,000 miles，電池也不會老化，更指它的壽命可支撐到車退役時。

所以

用 100,000 miles 來計 Prius，而用 300,000 miles (480,000 kilometers) 來計 Hummer 是很不公平的。不過這也提醒了我們一件事，就是車的壽命是很長的，無論部車是否環保慳油車，貪新忘舊頻換車的結果絕對是負面的。
