Video: Consumer Reports converts Prius to a plug-in[SIZE=-1] The Toyota Prius is the most fuel-efficient car Consumer Reports? has tested, with 44 mpg overall. We recently converted our Touring model, which gets 42 mpg overall, to a plug-in and found that fuel economy increased greatly. Gas mileage jumped to 67 mpg overall for the first 35 miles of driving. If you have a short commute, this option could save lots of gasoline. However, the conversion costs $10,000.* Check out our video and our complete article to learn more.
If you?re considering purchasing a hybrid, the redesigned 2010 Toyota Prius was just unveiled at the Detroit auto show. It is expected to have better fuel economy than the outgoing model, and it will be in showrooms this spring.*
