cars with better gas mileage

[Gene Nelson]

Funny to me to reflect on the gas lines of the 70's and all those who dumped their big wagons for the V.W. Rabbit with the turbo diesel. Didn't it get around 65 mpg? 
Goes to show you what great technology has done for us.

  The Prius will go down is history as one of the greatest innovations in the history of the automobile. It is the best car I've ever owned, and has enough room for several piano actions with room to spare. Not a mm of wasted space.  After driving a prius, a non-hybrid all gas vehicle feels simply archaic.

  Anybody have experience with the Prius in northern winter conditions, specifically traction in the snow and ground clearance?

  The Prius is a mid-sized car. Lots of leg room in the back. Three people can sit in the back. I have hauled both grand and upright actions in the rear with the rear seats folded down - lots of room to spare. We've had it for 2-1/2 years now and love it. I have kept track of all fuel purchases and we have averaged 53 mpg over the course of ownership.

    Hi Everyone,
    How roomy is the Prius?  Is it a good kid hauler like a minivan although not quite as big,but how does it do with hauling families and can one fit a piano action in it both grand or vertical?  Our Taurus is eating gas like crazy and I cannot figure out why.  We had the fuel injectors cleaned not too long ago.  Have a great rest of the night!
