Yes, and the Prius is also the SMALLEST commercially available hybrid. A motorcycle gets better mileage than a Prius. So does a Vespa. Wouldn't want to try to lug a family of five, the dog, and a weekend's worth of camping equipment in a Prius.

Easy to say it has the best mileage when you compare apples to oranges. ;)

And BTW, the Prius's mileage claims are bogus.

I think the only hybrid within it's epa estimates is the escape hybrid, the japs overrate everything.
