The prius seems like a good car but is already at its peak potential.

Oh I agree they are great cars to drive and own but they also are all automatics.
Yeah, having an automatic is not an mpg killer by any stretch of the imagination. My gas/gravity hybrid Escort is at nearly 80% EPA with the auto. It would be easier with the manual, but not having one is no excuse for not trying to get the best mpg!
