Default Re: Dept. of Energy HEV mpg test results

As somebody who runs a small fleet I would be very happy with any of those numbers. Our Prius (gen 1) is running in the mid to high 30s with about 60,000 miles (just got a free rank and pinion from Toyota thank you very much, shhh.... secret recall). Fleet drivers use max A/C all the time, idle extensively, spill coffee inside the a/c vents and generally do everything they can to destroy a car. So far our Prius can take it.
