Default Re: New Prius Owner

I have my Prius now, for about two months, and traveled around 1,800 miles...It seems around town I get around 45 mpg, and the highway I get 53 to 55 mpg...And that's without babying the gas pedal...It's a big difference with my Toyota 4 Runner that I turned in for the Prius...All the things I read, it seems that the mpg should be reversed...I don't get it, but I'm not complaining...I love the downshift(B) coming down a hill....It seems it's such a well engineered automobile...The transmission, I don't even feel any shifting at all...I don't know what our american engineers are doing but it seems they are lagging pretty far behind...
