Default Re: SAVE 5 miles per gallon......

We are on our second Prius which consistently gets around 50 mph, give or take a mile or two. We never noticed that one gas or another affects the gas mileage significantly (though very cold weather driving up north does somewhat). It's definitely possible for a station to be 'cheating' (unknowingly or deliberately, no way to know...); we once filled up and found that the tank took more than its capacity (!), and you can be sure that we reported that station, but I think this is relatively rare. Hybrids are terrific, especially the Prius and the Civic; somehow a hybrid SUV doesn't make much sense to us....
