What is a myth? A thought provoking catchy inclusion in the title of the post.
Is the advertised mileage a myth. Do you get 60mpg?
Is the car being for sale a myth, I can't seem to buy one, yet.

Back in 1984 when I bought my Honda CRX, some dealerships were jacking up the price, but I was able to buy mine at list. I waited 4 months for mine. They only shipped 1 to 2 cars a month to each dealership.
Sounds like Toyota is doing the same thing with their Prius as Honda did with the CRX.
From what I'm reading, my CRX (gas only) got comparible gas mileage than this hybrid thingy. I would think these hybrids should get closer to 100 mpg.

40 years ago my 1962 MG Midget got 37 city, 42 hwy. Would run at 80 mph all day, and gas was 25 cents a gallon. Where's the progress?

Yep, Stan, my first new car, a '62 Austin Healy Sprite, got about 38 mpg, but pulling my dad's 16' boat would pull it plumb down to 26 mpg.

How did you ever fit into a Sprite or did you have a late growth stage?

Lots of progress!!!
That hood compartment is so filled up it needs a PHD and computer just to find out where the sparkplugs are. And just think of the miles of wiring and multitude of chips to ensure that the sparkplugs keep sparking.
And then think of all the energy spent making all the wire,chips etc. and think of progress.

Very late; especially the last 5 or 6 years. [img]/forums/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] I only weighed about 175 pounds back then.
I didn't start growin' until my family did. I was 156 lbs. the day I got married. I blame my Dad, he told me cookin' lasts, kissin' don't. [img]/forums/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]
