50 Miles
Okay, we didn’t quite get 50 mpg on the trip to my sisters, but it was 49 mpg in the Toyota Prius (Blue Betty–we named her). That is nice. The hour traffic jam we got stuck in probably really helped. We didn’t use any gas for an hour during that jam. The way back we got about 40 mpg–but that was against wind and uphill. So we averaged about 45 miles per gallon. We just barely had to get gas. I blame it on Andy driving around Oak Lawn, but we probably would have had to get gas anyway!

That’s awesome! Especially with gas prices in some places reaching $4 a gallon, this is a great time to own a hybrid!
