No, you won't notice the MPG difference. My friend installed some amps and a sub into his Prius and he still gets totally reasonable mileage for this area.

Pics of my sub project are at webshots.com. Click community, then at the bottom of the page at "find a member" type in finman100. Click on the 'finman100' link that comes up and the pics are under the Prius sub folder.
Adding the sub (the 8" in mine, the 6" ones in hers) has NOT affected MPG at all. Now, weather, speed and terrain have, but not all my add-ons!
The 8" sounds great in the back, but I think I'm going to make some more 6" boxes and get another pair of 6" subs for mid-bass under the seats. I really like having that bass right up front. Plus the amp I have has 2 more channels of sound to give.
