Driving habits probably trump even transmission type. In the Wash. D.C. area, where many people have the money to get that nice Prius, I can't tell you how many times I've seen people driving them like complete lunatics. And I mean complete raving drooling idiots. It's one thing to be out of it (some very old drivers) but these people skew younger, they just have no concept whatsoever of how to conserve fuel or the machine they are operating.
