So we have 2 Toyota Highlanders. The older one is just shy of 200k miles. I was kind of thinking perhaps looking into a Prius as we really don't need 2 relatively thirsty SUVs. I was thinking about the Prius Plug in as theoretically she would almost never need the gas engine. But the price penalty (if you can find one) is about $3500. On a regular Prius if the claims of 50mpg are actually true she'd only be using about 3 gallons of fuel a week as opposed to about 13 to 15 in the Highlander.
The question is though, in a northern climate do they really return this kind of efficiency? I don't know anyone with a late model one to ask so posing it here. Looking at the AWDe model as this way it still has the security of AWD but the economy of hybrid technology.
Anyway looking for thoughts on it
