[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 397128, member: 12570"] We have them up here and I actually test drove one. Your MPG is a little on the low side, especially highway. The Prius website does say 46-48 combined but I have heard of closer to 60. The new one is supposed to have a solar panel built in to the roof to power the A/C. The model that I test drove was one of their more expensive ones ($28,000) but it was nice. It was also cool to see my MPG updated and displayed on the dash. I am actually waiting for the Chevrolet Volt to come out in 2010. It is supposed to be electric with a 40 mile range on a single charge. It does have the option to use gas. However, the $30,000 projected sticker may keep me away, for now. Improvement in technology, as in all other industries, will bring the prices down. For example, I bought my first VCR for $600. Now they are giving them away. [/QUOTE]
