I once read a message board of Prius owners, and found that driving style 
has a tremendous effect on the mileage, especially in town. If you have a 
calibrated foot you can do a lot better, by pressing the limit of the 
all-electric speed, but not QUITE letting the gasoline engine kick in. They 
were making a kind of sport of it. The dash can show a readout of your gas 
mileage at the time, to give you a hint of how you're doing.
