My 2012 hybrid Prius is great in mountain areas or nonstop freeway driving. At least 50 mph and often significantly higher. Short trips not so much. It has 83,000 miles and runs like new. Fingers crossed. Gas today in Northern California rural town on the way up to Lake Tahoe: $5.24 gallon - credit card.

My last Prius had 360,000 miles on it, ran great, and got about 53 mpg. The battery never needed replacing.

I'll be at the pump in a couple days. Who knows what the gas will be then in SF Bay Area!

Wow! That mileage sounds like a record. Especially with original hybrid battery. YouтАЩre lucky. Hope you still have an energy efficient car. Gas is sky high already. I saw a FB picture from a community outside of Sacramento with gas for $6.71 gal. I know people who bought small van/motorhomes during the Pandemic. They will have big bills. But weтАЩre lucky. We arenтАЩt being bombed in America and IтАЩll pay and reduce my driving so we can make life better for the Ukrainians.
