Fun to save gas 
 I love this car.  When I am slowed down in a traffic jam my car switches to the electric battery and gas mileage is terrific.  Makes a traffic jam not so irritating. Furthermore, I know that my car is not adding to the fumes everyone is sitting in as we inch along.  I have taken long 14 hour trips and am quite comfortable while averaging over 52 mpg.  I find that noting the continuous mpg analysis on the screen on the dashboard has helped me to learn good gas-saving driving habits.  It is like a computer game. My big dog rides comfortably in the hatchback area with the seat down and a quilt spread out.  My grown children love to drive my Prius when I come to visit.
