...On gas! The 240 was $210-$240/month in gas. I averaged $250-$750/year repairs - not bad for a prestige car with > 220K miles.

Although I am financing and have full coverage insurance, when I consider the certain upcoming maintenance on the 240, gas expense vs. projected resale of the Prius, and maintenance savings (my brother has an '08 with > 89K miles on it, only running cost has been tires, oil/filter change!), it is DEFINITELY saving me $$$$$$$$$!
