My understanding is the Prius or any other hybrid gets lousy gas mileage ... running on pure gas alone. It’s the combination of the fuel/electric that gives it its economy .... The hybrids are also able to boost higher than realistic EPA mileages because of the way the EPA tests them. They institute a max speed of 55 and accelration of 3.3 mph per second.
No one drives like that. Give it a try some time. Best you can't do it.

Nope, don’t want one ... also I read where in Georgia they can’t pass emissions tests because the electric system kicks in at the test speed .....
I’m looking for a car but still not sure what I want ....
