I don't know anyone with a Prius in California that doesn't average at least 45 mpg (no cold weather to rob energy). The stop-and-go traffic on the freeway really makes the Prius shine; I get 49.5 mpg when I drive "carelessly" (70 - 75 when I can, and then about 20 mph). I've pushed that to 52 on a couple of tanks with careful driving, but don't have the patience to continue in that vein.

A convertible Prius makes as much sense as one with oversized mag wheels.
