I have driven the Prius for a few weeks now. It is a joy to drive. In the beginning, it take getting used to. The response was extremely slow when I step on the accelerator. Now I know it is because I was in "eco" mode. Lifting my foot off the accelerator, Prius will not slow immediately. The rolling resistance has been lowered to increase fuel efficiency. Even the profile chassis and the wheels are shaped to minimise wind resistance.
I am now averaging 5 litres per 100 km. It is really fantastic to know that I am reducing my carbon footprint significantly.
