I just drove 230 miles yesterday on 5.25 gallons of gas. My car isn't even a hybrid either, it's a $15,000 Scion xA I bought 2 years ago knowing full well that gas prices were NEVER going to come back down to the good old days of $1/gallon like when I was a teenager.
You want to know the absolute best way to use less gas? SLOW DOWN!!! My car is rated at 38 mpg highway, but I can get between 45-46 mpg driving with the cruise control set to 55 mph. I can get over 50 mpg if I draft semis.
