 My Prius was in a national survey during the first 40,000 miles averaging 50.9 mpg. I've had over 12 new vehicles from different brands and this one the best besides saving over $8,000 so far. Toyota got it right. Only repair has been oil changes and running great. My next vehicle will be the next generation Prius at 80-100 mpg. My wife and I though that gas was high ($1.69/gallon) when we bought this car.  We really look smart now with gas over $3.25. They are working on the next generation Prius and I can not wait to purchase the next one.  Out of my last 12 new vehicles this ranks A +++.
