My V8s have their place, but I'm now into utility and mileage for my daily driving. We love this Prius V I bought at the end of July. (The gas hogs are covered up behind the car)

We drive it hard and already have nearly 10,000 miles. After getting 25 mpg on my Camry, I am thrilled to get this many miles from a 12 gallon tank of gas

The car is so roomy, my husband refers to it as "your truck". Hauled my harp and bench in it this weekend for a Christmas program and had room to spare

Years ago I had a very beautiful Cougar that flew like the wind. An old lady asked me what kind of mileage I got. I flippantly retorted, "I didn't buy it for the mileage." I've now come full circle. Yikes! I have become that old lady!!! For me, there's a place for power and major gas consumption. Two summers ago my credit card company put a freeze on my rewards credit card during the 5% cash back on gas period. They felt that I was purchasing too much gas and that there was fraud involved. I had to explain that we play hard on the lake and yes, the boat burns a LOT of gas. After that, Chase put a $1000 limit on gas purchases for their 5% cash back rewards program.
Yup, I'm now just an old lady with a Prius.
