Sorry Brian.
I haven't seen nor heard of a car which gives the same or more high mileage
as the Prius unless it's a scooter. Please list the cars which cost $8 k
less than the Prius which get more miles per gallon. Even the Hondas do not
get it.

I figured the Prius was frustrating because you paid $8000 more for a car
that gets the same mileage as a non-hybrid. <grin> Cool looking car
though.

Yes. The Prius is frustrating in that it has limited SI readouts
rather than all parameters. My Deville has a single button which
toggles the display between all metric and all English units. Toyota
doesn't.
However, I do use the metric option in the Pruis navigation system
since it is much easier to use. For example, a quarter mile is 400
m, half mile 800 m, etc. and beyond that distances are in km. It
works just fine. Also while driving, metric distances seem to be
much more accommodating in terms of time and distance than English units.
