Let me suggest a simpler approach:
1) Go to the hybrid mileage database
2) Select vehicles with simular profiles to yours (aka., length of trips, miles per month, temperature)
3) Record the average of their MPG
This will give some basis of fact to work from. Although there is a Prius model, it assumes a steady-state, warmed-up condition. Since you are likly to see more 'warm-up' time, it makes sense to see what others are getting.
GOOD LUCK!
