    Howdy folks, Just purchased a 2007 Prius touring on 2/22/14.I purchased the car to work out of.I'm a contract auto parts delivery driver. My old delivery car was a 1999 Chevrolet Metro with 242xxx miles that still gets 47-48mpg.I have to admit I'm kinda disappointed in the Prius 43.9 average mpg.The Metro will go 396 miles on 8 gallons of fuel.The best the Prius has done is 347 miles on 8 gallons of fuel. I drive roughly 200 miles per day.
