    My wife and I in addition to the Prius have:

    1. 2003 Honda Element -- mainly used to haul 3-4 mountain bikes (inside) and a Kayak. 22-26mpg.

    2. 1997 4X4 Jeep -- we do a lot of historical field research and need it for that. Also we like to ramble through National Forest land on some pretty rough roads....but only about 4K miles a year. 17-20mg.

    I guess with the Prius thrown in our "fleet average" isn't so bad!

    A VW Passar wagon. 4Motion 1.8t. Does not do bad for a non-hybrid. About 26 mpg.

    (But it looks KA)

    I'm single so I don't need many vehicles. I do have one other. It's a 14 year old Chevy pickup that I bought new and have only driven 65K miles. It has 4WD which is nice in the snow and it is very handy for trips to the lumber yard or on the dirt roads in the national forests. It has no dents and runs good but the silver paint is flaking off like it does on a lot of old GM products.

    1. 2006 Toyota Prius: This is my commute car. I put 120 miles on it 5 days a week.

    2. 1996 Toyota Tacoma: My hubsbands truck. It only averages 26.5 MPG, but it is very handy to have.

    3. 1996 Honda Civic: My old car before we bought the prius. Currently inoperable due to engine problems. If my husband ever gets the time he plans to fix it and my 18 year old son will inherit it.

    A 2002 Ford Ranger FX4 (4X4)- FUN! But fun comes at a price of 18 mpg, so "Rocky" stays home most days.
