The average owner gets around 41 mpg with a prius. The average 3 cylinder Metro owner gets 48 mpg average. You do the math. The prius IMO is basicly a waste. They claim 60 mpg hwy but no one has yet to hit that, let alone average it. The car is heavy, it's a rolling nuclear plant and the factory where it's batteries are made is a certified "No Fly Zone". It's roomy and cute though. I wouldn't see the justice in getting one, personally. Let alone any other new car.
