I know the GL won't get Prius numbers but 30-32ish mpg on regular would be a big improvement over the 29 on premium I get in my saab. My dealer seems to have no probs with supply. There are three on the lot. Benefit of being in an oil producing state, I guess!
No, you won't get Prius numbers in the city. I'm averaging around 25 MPG (24.7) on mostly local commuting traffic. (My commute to work is less than four miles each way so I'm pretty close to the worst case with lots of my drives with an engine that's just not getting warmed up given the sub-20 degree weather most mornings these days. I expect better mileage once the weather warms up.
