Toyota had their traveling Hybrid show in Portland last weekend and I was there for the Jazz Fest so I went through the display and got one of those shake to charge flash lights for my time and a package of Basil seeds. I used their calculator and put in the miles driven etc for my Prius including my life time average. Guess what if you put in 54 mpg for your present MPG on the car you are driving it tells you that the Prius costs more to drive!! What a hoot. They are of course using a plug figure of 41 mpg for their mpg on the Prius. I think that was my worst tank ever! It was a nice display nothing new though and you can't get their Prius driving simulator into "Glide" mode.
