I have owned a Prius for 12 years and the thing still got 50mpg - it had about 130k miles on it.

For all intents and purposes it was about as good as when I bought it.




It seems they should get to impressive mileage numbers reliably if used mostly for long-distance commuting. Electric motors during city-driving (traditionally where most engine wear takes place), and gas on the highway, where an ICE can basically run forever w/ proper maintenance.
