I test drove a new prius last night. I noticed on the computer mileage display that the mileage that was displayed was very low. The salesman stated that the mileage is low until the car has been running long enough to charge the batteries, 10 minutes or so he said.
Well my wife will be the main driver of this car and her commute to work is about 10 minutes. Is this salesman correct? If so, does that mean that the mileage for short trips, which is most of our miles. will be worse than my current vehicle?
