I love the car - it's big enough for my mom-duties (two carseats, stroller, etc) and is my own personal Kyoto Accord (since our President blew it off)...

But what's up with the less than stellar mileage. I expected a bit better than 21.7 mpg... sheesh. My dad has a prius and gave me all the tips - infalted tires, no AC, super slow accelleration, coast whenever possible. But I have seen the gas engine ON when my foot is off the gas and I'm coasting down a hill!

Does it need adjustment or is the mileage hype a bunch of hooey?
