Replying to: kdhspyder (Dec 27, 2008 6:19 am) i remember when my sister first got her prius. when she came back to ct for a visit, it was cold. the computer read 35 mpg avg, including highway miles. driving up my street, the readout was 8 mpg, until my bil shut it off. overall, she averages 40+ mpg, but 30 is very possible. our winter gas usually costs 10-15% of normal gas mileage.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Dec 27, 2008 8:01 pm) I'm from upstate NY originally so I understand about winter conditions and yes in slick, windy, bitter weather no vehicle will do well. But that has nothing to do with the vehicle. These conditions are covered by YMMV. |

My used 08 Corolla averaged about 36 MPG (80% highway driving) earlier this summer and fall. Due to winter driving, it is around 34.5 MPG with the same local-highway driving mix. I paid about $ 9,000 less for the Corolla than I would have if I had bought a comparable used Prius. A Prius would make financial sense if gas stays at over $ 4 a gallon for a prolonged period, especially if the owner does a lot of in-town driving or was switching from a large SUV.
