I have put God and family first in my life and the job that I work falls after that. So I don't have much time for myself. The 40 minute drive in and the 60 minute drive out is my time. Driving a Prius is not where I want to spend my quality me time. I want the music, the acceleration, the handling and the stopping power. Gas mileage is an after thought. The cars I drive back and forth to work and small errands to the store are a driving experience I want to enjoy. So I drive cars that will give me that enjoyment. If I have to pay more for that then so be it. I want to enjoy my daily commute.
