We find this to be an ideal combo for the less than 5,000 miles we drive each year going to doctors, grocery stores, meals out (few) etc. that lets us enjoy our retired lives by always having the right vehicle for the job........a "limousine" for personal travel and chevy pick up for chores. Since the total miles driven each year is so low I never worry about fuel cost.
I used to think I was driving my truck "car light" putting only about 6,000 miles a year on it and driving nothing else except my bike... Now, not so much.
Since we got the Prius C I now realize that I could drive it 25,000 Miles and use about the same amount of gas, or drive it 6,000 Miles and use 1/5th as much gas...
