I wonder if they'll sell.
Local prices in Huntsville have taken a distinct step up. Part of it is the seasonal gas change from winter to summer blend. But this seems suspicious as it follows a tax cut and huge USA Federal budget. Behavior like this in past has triggered inflation.

About the Ioniq, we compared the Fuelly numbers for the Gen-4 Prius ECO versus the Ioniq Blue and the user reported mileage suggests there may be a problem:

Remove the 0 MPG bucket cars - probably data entry error
Remove the single car buckets - outliers are likely to be single car
51.6 MPG - Ioniq Blue, 18 cars (58 MPG EPA combined)
58.1 MPG - Prius ECO, 29 cars (56 MPG EPA combined)
I do not own either a Prius ECO or Ioniq Blue. Both of our cars are plugin hybrids and +95% of our miles are electric.
