At the end of my test week I experienced for myself the amazing fuel consumption of the Prius. It's no lie when I say I only put about $23.00 (CDN) of gas in the tank for the entire week, and I drove over 600 km both in the city and the highway. Fuel consumption has decreased to a mere 4.0 L/100 km in the city and 4.2 L/100 km on the highway. The reversed figures reflect how proficient the HSD powertrain is and that the Prius is optimized for maximum efficiency in stop-and-go traffic. As odd as it sounds, I enjoyed sitting in in the Prius in traffic more than on the highway, as it meant I was saving more money and more trees.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the 2004 Toyota Prius is fantastic.
