The Toyota Prius only gets 8 to 10 mpg than a Camry??? Wow - I had no idea that the Toyota Camry was in the 50+ mpg range...
The Prius gets 60 mpg city and 55 mpg highway... Right now, the average on dealer lot time for a Prius is six days... That is pretty incredible.
Basically, the Prius gets four times the miles on the same amount of gas in the city as a Vehicross. Three times as much on the highway. I just drove from Hillsboro down to San Diego and it cost me around $160 - it would have only cost around $50 in the Prius...
I love my VX - but I would love to get that kind of mileage in it. I think it is possible, but at great expense. Some day I may just get around to looking into it. But I will have to have a lot more money...
