I am starting to resent my car - enough so I may actually give it up and go with Biking and Public Transportation to get me around (both of which are excellent here in Boulder, CO) - George Smith
Amazing, I can drive about 200 miles on 1/2 a tank. If only the Prius looked alot cooler, lol. - Aaron Myers
I drive one as well, but not getting that kind of hypermileage. Averaging 47mpg here. - Sean Alexander
@Sean I would be jumping up and down for 47mpg, I'm getting MAYBE 20mpg. - Aaron Myers
@Jeremy not hacked but it seems do better when it's hot and I do a lot of hwy driving. - Steve Rubel
showoff....LOL...yes I am just jealous. - Ruth Ferguson
This is the wrong metric. What Steve didn't tell you is that his Prius has an 80-gallon tank. :-) - Louis Gray
I set no records with my 350Z Roadster but enjoyed driving in to work today - James Joyner
@Louis - HA! I had a mental image of a Prius towing a small u-haul for its gas and battery. - Yolanda
Wrong Louis - you know how some cars are using cleaned food oil to power their cars? Steve is using FriendFeed for his - the more postings you make here, the faster the car goes - that's why he can't use it in the middle of the night! - Allen Stern
Friend says: "If he had a 1992-1995 Honda Civic VX, or a 2001 Honda Insight, he could have done even better in terms of mileage and emissions !!!" Think this is true? - Kathleen Mazzocco
Someday I'm going to get me a Prius. - Thomas Hawk
I'd rather get a Smart or a MINI diesel-hybrid. Design is much better and they're more fun to drive. - Raoul Pop
That's fantastic! I'm renting a Prius to head up to Portland with from San Fran so that should help save us some major costs along the way - Dave Cohen
I'm driving my Vespa a lot more than my Prius. Now that's fuel efficiency. - Matt McGinnis
I told my wife I was thinking about a scooter, and she said, "Great! Then I can use it sometimes, too!" >sigh< I don't wanna share. - ha3rvey
if only the prius was made for tall people, I wonder if I'd fit in a Tesla - clarke thomas
Kathleen, yes it is. I had a Honda Civic (can't remember the year) long ago that gave me 45 MPG. - JodyUnwired
That's not necessarily that big of an accomplishment. I can drive about 200 highway miles on a quarter tank with my '03 Hyundai Elantra. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
I've had my Prius for 3 1/2 years. I've never had a tank average more than about 43 mpg and my average tank is more like 39-40 mpg. Any tips for improving? - Amy Worley
Also, I'd like to add that comparing miles per tank isn't a good comparison. The Prius has a smaller tank than most cars. When mine is blinking empty I'm lucky to get 9 gallons in there. Usually less. - Amy Worley
Okay, I'm breaking my FF radio silence to reply here - howdyoudothat? And why do our Priuses drive better on hwy? - Matt
So a 45 MPG Honda Civic would still have dirtier emissions than a Prius right? Also I have to say we frequently get 50 MPG with our Prius. Am waiting for a 90 MPG Prius. - Kathleen Mazzocco
