We've had the Prius about 3 weeks and decided to go on a tour of the south west of Western Australia. We drove 2050km in 5 days stopping to camp in national forest's and next to some of our best beaches The car performed like a legend and even in the hilly areas when we had to overtake large trucks going up hills we cruised with ease. we averaged 5.2 liters per 100km which is what I would expect seeing as we did some pretty hard driving.
