Default Yes-2 MILE TRIP Prius 39 mpg-Corolla 25mpg
I do a 2 mile trip everyday with a dead cold motor.The Prius gets 39 mpg-the 2001 Corolla auto get 25 mpg.This is with motors that have sat all night.The Prius usually doesn't get to EV(run on just battery power with just the electric motor) during this short trip.The Prius allows you to use the AC with the spark motor off-a big advantage mpg wise.
Luck,Charlie
