It would be kinda odd if a stereotypical tree-hugging Prius owner would come chimping-out at you for driving a truck, and you telling that your other car is a Prius... |

well,
we've still got the 2010 prius
she's got another 100,000 miles since we picked her up
overall doing pretty well, the fuel economy dropped off over the winter (also got new tires) and hasnt come back
it was as low as 44-45mpg, now it's getting about 47-48mpg
the best tank this year was 50mpg (alot less than a few years ago)
