Please a complete fire alarm system!
You'll be driving 100% on the gas engine for those 44 highway miles so I doubt you'll get 40 mpg. You can put snow studded tires on anything. Or you can get a 2nd vehicle like a 4x4 suv to drive in the snow like me. I've only averaged 1800 miles per year for the last 5 year's I've owned it which is less than $475 dollar's a year in gas. Plus, I make it to work no matter what so that pays dividend's!
With the cost at 21,416.00 (according to KBB) It's probably worth it now. Let's say you could get a car that did 36 for 15,000, but drove the 12,000 miles a year. That's 252 gallons a year - at 4 bucks a gallon, that's 1008 in gas But at 36, you need 333 gallons or 1333 in gas so, that takes - what, 15 years to make the difference? Now, if you're driving 20,000 miles a year, it catches up faster, but the car wears out faster too.
Stud and Prius,, now thats funny ;)))))
hi i'd pick the: light bulb paper aeroplane 2 pencil because i'd rip a piece of the paper aeroplane, write on it (with the pencil of course) where i am, the date , help me blah blah and then smash a smal hole into the light bulb open so i can put the paper in the light bulb, then plug the hole in the light bulb with either the bottom half of a pencil or the rest of the paper aerop plane. Whatever is left over i'll keep to entertain myself ;) from christie : /
According to Consumer Reports’ Road Test for the Toyota Prius, you can expect the following: Overall mileage, mpg 44 City/highway, mpg 35 / 50 150-mile trip, mpg 48 Note that these are real-world numbers, not EPA estimates, so they should be pretty accurate. As always, your mileage will vary with your driving habits. To answer your remaining questions, the Prius is a front-drive car, with a curb weight of 2,950 pounds, and weight distribution of 59%/41% front/rear. That is typical of front drive cars, which are generally better to drive in the snow than rear drive models, but not as good as AWD models. Electronic stability control is available on the car, but not standard. The 185/65 R15 tires should provide adequate grip, but any car can benefit from winter tires in snowy climates - I use them on both of my cars (Chicago area). You can use studded tires on the car so long as your state permits them. Many states don’t.
