No for a Prius don't run the battery down(50% SOC is good). It's not an electric car. You will find a sweet spot where the engine is off and you are coasting. They don't do well FE wise above 40 mph so if you can plan routes that let you pulse and glide below 40 you'll do great. There is another thread that was on the same subject do a search and you can find it. There is an excellent article on it at cleanmpg that the other thread refrences.
