With my Ram 1500 I average 18.5 miles per gallon which is about half stop and go and the other half open road. On the interstate I get 24 mpg at 70 mph. That Prius beats the hell out of this. That Prius can not haul several thousands pounds in a trailer behind it.

Both are fine vehicles for their designed use. My truck is a work truck thus 395 horses V8. The Prius is just for moving people.

That’s damn good mileage for that truck.

My Expedition gets 15.4 mixed town and highway. The best I’ve gotten was the 18.2 on our ten day trip, but that included a lot of high-elevation mountain driving up to 6,650 feet at Logan Pass in Glacier National Park. We didn’t go below 4,200 feet for a week.
