Greetings all!

I came across these two articles while surfing today. They talk about both MPG and durability issues. Good reads.

I get more that the weak EPA MPG. I have had as much as 99.9 on 5-10 mile trips with a few level and down hill areas.
Most of the time I get 50-60 mpg.

You just have to drive smarter. A few Prius owners used the glide and coast methof to get over 70 mpg on a 100 mile drive. It's all in the drivers hands.
