Nope, sorry, I meant as far as gas mileage is concerned. It doesn't do anywhere near the numbers that a Prius will, and the normal "city is better than highway" numbers for hybrids in general doesn't seem to apply to my TCH.
I had a peppy car -- a Jeep with the 5.7L Hemi engine. Trading being able to fly off the line (while towing a boat, in the Jeep's case) at 16 MPG vs. having more than enough power to get me through my day at 40 MPG seems to be a decent trade in the days of $3.00 gas.
