Get the Prius without question. The Civic is a slightly better highway car, but IMO not by much. The Prius has more cargo area and will obliterate the Civic in city driving. If you were going to get the manual version (which has lean burn) it would be a closer toss up, but I would not go with the CVT on the Civic. I take my Prius on the highway all the time, set the cruise @ 60 mph and get 55-60 mpg. The Civic will do maybe 5 mpg better than that.
