    What tires are you running on it? Replacing the tires with good touring tires will help a lot. What pressure are your tires aired to? High pressures help economy but hurt ride. I keep mine at the 35/33 on the door frame and it rides pretty well. The new Yokohama tires I put on ride better than the old Michelin MXV4s that were on it before which really surprised me because that Michelin is a great riding tire.

    My gen II Prius ride is acceptable, but not as good as a Camry by a long shot.
