I drove 77mpg on the interstate on a 55-mile trip and averaged 50mpg. Absoluntely no Mods to it. My wife who doesn't hypemile is averaging 52-54mpg and she doesn't drive slow in her routine driving. I'm positive if I drove it 45-50 mph that I'd likely be over 70mpg in it... and possibly higher... with Zero mods. I know I'd make some gains with a warm air intake, grill block and a few other mods.

Also, I met a guy who I bought one of my solar panels from that easily gets over 70mpg in his 3rd Gen Prius. He does hypermile it, but he's not one of those slow people that has a bunch of angry drivers behind him. He just drives it intelligently. A skillful foot in a Prius can blow away almost any other car on the road in MPG.
