Quite a few people ask why I drive a Prius, or even ridicule me for doing so.   Most of these people drive very large pickups and other relatively low mileage vehicles.  By low I mean 20mpg and below.  In a previous post I brought up the fuel savings compared to the last two cars I’ve had:  view post here.  I’m still averaging about 48mpg and the last full tank was 51mpg.  I drive it like a car, not a hybrid and and it still pulls off those numbers.

The U.S. Department of Energy has a great site for comparing vehicles:  http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbsSelect

Here is the info on the Prius compared to the Subaru and Audi.

 

One more Prius stuff!
