2002 Toyota Prius Sedan 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Prius Fantasy Gas Milage
 Prius is an excellent car, but the gas 
milage is not what Toyota claims, 
especially when you have to use the A/C 
like we do in Arizona, most of the 
year. The on board computer is very 
optimistic, when compared to the manual 
way (fill tank, drive, fill again to 
see how many gallons used, divide miles 
driven by gallons). It probably gets no 
more than any small sedan with a 1.5-
2.0L engine. However, it is very well 
made, an 8 yr warranty, and heavier 
feeling than smaller Toyota models. It 
has an ugly front end shape because 
they made it very streamlined. The 
trunk is very small, but seating is 
good.
