    If only you were driving a normal sized car, the same amount of gas would take you twice as far.

      A current model year prius is ~3,250lbs / ~1,500kg and only gets 54mpg highway - what normal sized cars are you thinking of that will get you 60mpg without hypermiling?

        Diesel cars (not trucks) have done 60 highway mpg for 2 decades now. The Prius isn’t a very efficient vehicle on the highway, it’s better suited for urban driving where the electric motor and regen help save a bunch of fuel.

          Yes, there absolutely are a small handful of diesel cars that get 60mpg or more stock! And if we’re doing alternate powertrains, my EV gets an equivalent to ~130mpg. But since this conversation is about gasoline it’s not really… relevant.

          Also, what? The prius is an incredibly efficient vehicle on the highway. The 2026 prius averages 53 mpg city, 54 highway.
