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.

Ditto on driving the Prius more often. I think you would be fine driving it a couple times a week though, so you can still put most of the miles on your VX.
