1. What year is your Prius? 2008
2. What color is your Prius? Silver Pine Mica
3. What mileage do you get with your Prius? 45 mpg
4. What car did you replace with your Prius (make, model, year)? 2002 Saturn SL 2
5. What mileage did that car get? @26 mpg

She will be compiling the information later this week and I will post the results in this forum. Thanks in advance!
Good luck with the science project. My son won 3rd place at the county science fair (caffeine effects on heart rate)

2. Magnetic Gray
3. Look for Spirit Queen on GreenHybrid - Interactive Hybrid Cars Resource. The Cliff's Note answer is 51.8mpg lifetime. Over the last few tanks the average is in the high 50's but I don't keep a moving average.
4. 1989 Oldsmobile Delta 88
5. 22.5mpg Mileage was 237583.0 when I gave it to my neighbor.

I replied earlier but I thought I'd add a piece of relevant information: This project, especially the part about calculating what people are saving, can't quite work without an important bit of context from responders:

How many miles do you drive per year?

My Prius drives about 10k miles/year.
