I like how they threw the Hummer on there for comparitive purposes. My Silverado gets the same mileage, but I don’t care. It terrorizes Priuses!!
A Yugo (if there are any still on the road) could terrorize a Prius!
My wife purchased a Toyota Highlander Hybrid.
She only gets about 22 mpg.
BUT...
The none hybrid version got less than 18 - and probably a lot less because my wife likes to GO when she goes...
The simple truth is, she got the hybrid because it has a lot of get up and go with okay mileage. It has substantially more get up and go than the V6 non hybrid version that has significantly worse gas mileage all other things being equal.
