What is the more sustainable strategy?

Keeping an 8‐year old clunkerB i      V lk   ith   Buying a new Volkswagen with a diesel engineBuying new Toyota Priusy g y

I always ask Prius people, “Your last care before the Prius, how long did you hold on to it?” It’s 1,000 gallons of fuel just making a car, shipping it, delivering it; the act of discarding it  recycling it  takes a lot of energy  too   delivering it; the act of discarding it, recycling it, takes a lot of energy, too.  So maybe a  better thing to do rather than buying a new Prius is keeping your car  old car 8‐10 years.  It’s probably the more sustainable strategy.
