The Toyota Prius is the most fuel efficient car on the marketing today. The Prius gets an average 60 mpg city and 51 mpg highway. But with fuel efficiency you lack power. The Toyota Prius is powered by a 1.5-liter, I4, 110-horsepower engine and goes from 0-60 in 10.1 seconds.
The Toyota Prius is hybrid electric vehicle and first went on sale in Japan in 1997. The Toyota Prius was sold worldwide in 2001. By the end of 2003 nearly 160,000 units had been produced for sale in Japan, Europe, and North America.
Hybrid electric vehicles will save you money in the long run but don’t expect to see saving for several years since they cost about $5000 more than a comparable gas vehicle. As time goes on you should see prices for hybrid electric vehicles begin to drop but for now expect to pay a lot more. For more information on the Toyota Prius visit AutoFigures.com
