I've only driven it a short distance, but already over 60mpg on this first full tank. This one I picked up for $3,600 with 182,000 miles. This is an extremely clean Prius and I feel like I got a really good deal compared to what I've looked at in my market over the last 11 months since buying my wife's Prius.
It actually seems easy to hypermile it and I got some practice in from driving my wife's Prius. I feel like I've gotten a pretty good understanding on how to manipulate it to get better MPG's. I'm pretty sure there's a thread on this site explaining it out.

Absolutely the best way to risk having the hybrid battery develop an issue. Absolute worst thing you can do is let them sit for significant periods of time.
