A car small enough to alter your relationship with the city.

    Prius Side Note

    I know I'm always personally curious what kind of mpg other Prius owners get, especially when that "48 in the city" is tossed around, so I'm sharing my mpg here.

    We bought a Prius at the end of March 2008 and have since put 4400 miles on it driving around a flat, sprawled city and taking it on two 800+ mile road trips as well as several smaller trips (150-200 miles round trip) to nearby cities. According to the Prius' onboard mpg calculator, we consistently get 44.6 mpg in the city and 46.3 mpg on the highway.

    (Take that, hybrid Tahoe that only gets 23mpg in the city!)
