#1 Fox news reporter's review on it. Doesn't sound bad, but I would wait a few years until the technology bugs are ironed out. I drive about 40 miles per day in hilly California so my gas bill would go way down.

#2 Check out the mileage on a VW Jetta TDI. Or maybe even an old VW Rabbit.

#3 Or get a pedal bike! 20 miles in and out and you'll be superfit in no time. Think of the savings on the gym.

#4 My dead stock Toyota Camry(2002) gets 37, plus I spoke to another lady at a stoplight yesterday driving a Prius, she gets 50
No overpriced Toys for me.

#6 Interesting article yesterday on Bloomberg, about how 'sustainable' energy subsidies are driving unsustainable budget deficits to the tune of $100B++.

#8 Redneck Hello!, I bet she gave you the showroom mileage figure for open road. Most people I know don't bother to figure it out. The tip off is the even number and I bet rounded up. Spending all that money she wouldn't want to look shall I say sub-par.

#9 My 1998 Chevrolet S-10 gets 25 miles to the gallon combined city/highway. With me in it, it's not worth much more than $500.

#10 Since you mention it, I bought the Camry from my daughter, she wanted a newer car and they wouldn't give her squat, so she sold it to me for Blue Book, $3,500 we both made out like bandits.
136 thousand and has absolutely nothing wrong with it. (Mechanic's Daughter, knows how to keep it in good shape.)
needed tires, big deal, put 4 on for around $300, ran it through the Toyota dealership where I used to work, and records showed ALL maintenance done as needed.
Caught myself today on new asphalt passing 100 and didn't know it until I glanced at the speedometer.
