Brian:
I asked you to list the cars which cost $8 k less than the Prius which get
better mpg than the Prius. Again, what is your answer?

So what gas mileage do you get? And don't quote the BS EPA numbers of
60mpg.
In addition, check out this month's Car and Driver...

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. Stan Doore
