Talk:Toyota Prius

Somewhat short on what's green with it... I read that the actual range in electric mode was... 2 km. It's heavy to carry a gas engine plus batteries... --Josce 13:13, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, not sure about that, but I have rented the Prius for a couple of short roadtrips and was very impressed with both the fuel economy and the all the feedback that you get about consumption. I think I was averaging over 40 mpg on the highway, so this would make a great car for people commuting long distances. A friend of mine has one and commutes about an hour each way every day, and she's noticed a huge improvement in fuel economy over her previous car. That said, there are some drawbacks to this car. If you have more info, please feel free to add it to the main article. Mollyh 17:24, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
