We love our Prius. It's actually fun to drive (I worried it would be like a golf cart) and no matter how I drive it locally, fuel economy is near 50. Really, the only time it dips is hitting the highway and over 75-80mph. (always 40+)

It's been about 5 years and 100k, and all I've done is change oil, and replaced the smaller 12v battery. It's been very reliable and surprisingly comfortable and spacious.
I've had mine for two years and just rolled over 40,000 with similar results. I'm happy with it, but want my Elio to extend it's life. It also helps to have a backup vehicle in case the Hybrid Batteries fail and I can't afford to replace them.
