The 2005 Toyota Prius has an actual gas mileage of 45 on the highway and about 50-55 city driving in town. The only drawback is that when it drops below freezing then the gas mileage will drop also. The dealer claims that's inherent because it takes the on-board computer 10 days to adjust itself from the climate in New Mexico to say Nebraska during the winter months. This Feb 2008 we saw gas mileage lowest of 28-35 mpg, then once we came back to New Mexico it was once again 45 mpg. I just wish they had a lumbar in the seats of the Prius as this is our primary over the road vehicle. We had previously owned a 2002 GMC Yukon, a 1999 Dodge Avenger, a 1992 Mitsubishi 3000 GT-VR4, and now have a 2004 Chevy Corvette.
