Ok my question to kevin pxs

1. Is do you own a toyota or a honda hybrid car?
2. Have you driven a toyota hybrid, to see if the calcs are true?

I would have to say that alot of the negitive comments about toyotas are coming from biased people that have a favorite (my cars better than yours)
I don't think the numbers are lying here on GreenHybrids gas tables..
Im happy with my Prius as it fits my needs, same as the other guy with his Civic fitting his needs..

lol I cant get my gas thingy to work

My toyota Prius gets between 51-60 in the city I can get 99.9 (electric drive only) in bumper to bumper rush hour traffic from speeds of 0-35 mph.
The Hwy numbers will vary from 39-53 depending on conditions...
Also my car has saved me $1352.00 the first year of ownership in gas..
