I took a 2007 Prius out for a test drive today at a local dealership. I drove an 8 mile route, and got 77 mpg on it. The salesman was more than willing to go out again, as he'd never seen anyone get such good mileage on a test drive. The second time around, I only got 67 mpg. Still, that's 72 mpg for 16 miles - pretty good for my first attempt at P&Ging a Prius.
