Yes, a Echo can achieve the same mileage. But if you've never driven a Prius you wouldn't really understand how ridiculously easy it is to get good mileage. It makes hypermiling so much more fun and easy. For someone who has used P&G for years (and beaten the Prius mpg by quite a bit), I love driving the Prius.
With gas prices going up come summer time I have my eye out for fixer upper high mpg cars. I agree the asking price does seem a bit high for a car that doesn't work.
