Beyond idle curiosity I don't see the fuel economy of the new Prius actually matters. Yes, it will be interesting the tricks used to get there but going from 55 mpg to 60 mpg is going to save someone driving the average 14250 miles per year less than 1 gallon of fuel per week.
This is sort of the point I was trying to make in my earlier post. Why would toyota continue to have a prius and camry hybrid if they both look similar, cost similar, and get similar efficiency?
