people expect to buy a hybrid, drive it like an SUV and get stellar milage. Im just surprised its the prius and not the accord, or highlander hybrids.

Actually she is getting about what most Prius owners are getting - about 1/2 of the sticker EPA. The Hybrids have turned the EPA #s into a joke and they are going to change the tests.
40~45 highway is what most Prius owners are reporting on average. Those that live in trees are reporting 150 mpgs.
