 We bought a new 2009 Prius (base model) and enjoyed it so much that we bought this 2013 Prius Four.  111,000 miles on the 2009 Prius and almost 12,000 on the 2013. We average 45-47 miles per gallon on the 2009 and 48-50 miles per gallon on the 2013. Great work car and short trips but we also make yearly trips from Tampa, Florida to Houston, Texas and beyond.UPDATE: We sold this vehicle in order to purchase an SUV to meet our new family needs. Although it was rated in excellent condition and low miles by several dealers, etc we were offered much less because so many of them are on the market.
