Sigh.  Especially since so many other hybrid models seem to tack an
electric motor along side a V6 "performance" frame for what appears
to be a quite modest efficiency gain.  "Hybrid SUVs" BOASTING milage
of 28mpg.  Sigh.

I seem to average 50mpg in my prius, about twice what I got in my
last car (97 Saturn wagon), and pretty significantly over anything
I've ever gotten in my cars (76 (?) celica, 84 accord, 97 Saturn,
2007 prius, or the family mini-vans.)
