The increase over city is greater than the highway increase when compared to other cars, but a VW TDI is about the only new, stock non-hybrid that will compete with a Prius on the highway. High 40s with the cruise at 75mph is nice.

Two years ago, my wife and I were thinking of buying a new C. Walked over to the used section of the lot for kicks and found a 2005 Prius with 85k miles for less than half the price. 2 years and 27k miles later, I'm happy with the choice we made. I would at least see what the used selection in your area looks like as far as rust.
