2010 Toyota Prius Rated at 50/49 MPG City/Highway

2010 Toyota Prius Rated at 50/49 MPG City/Highway
Toyota has announced that the 2010 Prius will be rated 50/49 mpg city/highway. The company had previously announced only a combined mileage rating of 50 mpg. The EPA ratings do not take into account the new Prius' Eco mode, which the company says adjusts the throttle and air conditioning to make the car more efficient. The Prius also features an all-electric EV mode, a Power mode for more-spirited acceleration, and a standard driving mode, which is the mode the EPA tested.

Last week, Cars.com was able to drive the new Prius and talk with a number of its engineers, but we won't be allowed to discuss the mileage we observed during our testing until March 25.
