Toyota Prius

We left last Thursday for a roadtrip to see John's family in southeastern Idaho. Since we've been considering buying a Prius, we decided to rent one to see how we like it. It handled well and had no problems keeping up with the 80mph speeds that almost obligatory on the interstates. It did wel going up the many steep inclines (not a great mileage, of course). We averages 43.3mpg, not really that bad considering what nonhybrids get! I think we'll certainly give even more serious thought to a purchase.
