My Father hasn't checked the fuel mileage yet but they claim it''ll get 45-48mpg.
There's a 6 month wait for a Prius here. Your folks got one just like that? No wait list?

That must be due to the Prius' popularity amongst Californians. A colleague at my office just took delivery of a brand new one last week, and she didn't have to wait at all.

Ship those Priuses to CA please.
you forgot where is the assembly plant?
I think hybrids need to be lighter. The Prius is still quite ok at 2800lbs. The Accord hybrid and Nissan Altima hybrid are horrendously heavy at ~3500lbs. When you have a car that heavy, everytime you have a stop/go routine, it takes a lot to get moving.
Anyone has a Smart on order?
The one thing I hate about the Prius - it's ugly.

Become adept at the art of siphoning gas from parked cars.
(By the way, which part of the country will you be coming to?)
ya mine is like $3.2/gal yesterday when i pump. Crapz!
it was 1194 for a LOOOOONG time. and then suddenly it dropped to 114(something) for a couple of days. and during that time, my mom didnt realize it and so she didnt feed the car!!! >< until it ran low. and by the time my mom said we need gas, it had risen back up to 1182. T.T
