When I test drove the Prius I was told that the gas and electric work together after 13 mph. The new version I believe will not come on until 25mph. I never really checked into that much because I felt the car was a little sluggish between 30 to 50mph.
GM is suppose to have a true electric called the VOLT.
One of my clients owns a Prius and has never gotten less than 50mpg.
My Mini is averaging 31 mpg city/highway, strictly highway I am getting 38.2 according to the car's computer. I have the Clubman so I could fit the gear. I think next year there will be a better selection and the MPGs will definitely go up plus the batteries are getting so much better.
Good luck.
