    Still waiting to hear about the status of my 2007 Touring Prius but now I'm second guessing about the fuel economy of this newer car. Need an experts opinion here based on the new suspension and larger tires of the Touring.

    It'll be a bit worse secondary to the wheels. Otherwise should be about the same.

    In Japan, people are seeing 10% worse mileage number with 16 inch tires than 15 inch model.
