No way to tell since neither you nor I can predict the average gasoline prices over the period of time until the break-even point, you didn't provide the estimate of annual miles to be driven, you don't give a estimated comparison of the maintenance costs of the Sentra vs. the Prius, you don't indicate whether there is a difference in the insurance costs, and you don't indicate the difference in annual registration/license costs.
