good luck!!!!! If a customer comes here looking for a prius, they realistically have a year and half wait...at least.

The funny thing is...the estimated fuel cost between an xA and a Prius is like $200 difference. For a car that's about $10,000 more, it doesn't really warrant the cost IMO. I'd take the Scion any day.

Shift at lower points, no reving your engine. Cruise in a higer gear if possible.

Either thats meant to be a joke, or you're hauling something other than groceries in the back... lol.

Possibly bricks?

Even during the first 260 or so miles i manager close to 30mpg in mostly city driving.. and it's getting better...

I suggest walking.

Dude be glad your tank is only 10 gallons... i paid 1.99 for gas today... but I will drive a whole week on it... I feel bad for my dad's vette.. he's eating **** on gas prices right now... Generally if you have a stick... get to 5th as quick as you can and keep your rpms under 3500... should save some gas... there is thing in the owners manual about how to save gas (i.e. drive like gramma)...

if you really want to save gas, carpool or drive the car easy. if you have a manual trans then shift at like 3k-4k rpms.

Stip the interior and put a bucket for a seat. That could help.

Some mileage-saving ideas for you:
-Put a giant cone on the front to reduce drag.
-Draft other motorists- they love it!
-Inflate your tires to 80 psi- less rolling resistance
-If you're going downhill, turn the car off, then pop-start it at the bottom
-Leave the car at home, and ride a skateboard behind other vehicles like Marty McFly!

On the freeway, draft a semi-trailer. That should help the old mileage.
