Xringer,
I've got an eye on the Prius C. I'm impressed by its low price, light weight (2500lbs), small engine, and versatile hybrid system. The aerodynamics aren't as bad as most new cars, either. If I had one, I could probably press it into service towing 1000lbs, which means I wouldn't have to rent a truck when I want to move large things.
I'd like to know how much of my commute I could do on electricity with a Prius C. If you start with a full charge, how far can you get around town without engaging the gas engine? Rigging up a grid charger should be fairly easy, and developing an engine inhibitor should be possible.
I'm also interested in the fuel economy at extralegal speeds on the interstate. What kind of numbers does the Prius C generate at 75 mph?
