    2007 Prius Touring currently 207K and purchased 13 months ago with 195K. Previous owner(s) had installed a now defunct Nexcell Project Lithium Jack's special highly touted lithium pack at some point. Not long after I purchased it I got a red triangle of death with a failing battery. I ended up buying a new OEM Panasonic pack from Toyota and installed it myself. Currently getting around low 40 mpg.
