I'm about to travel across the country for the first time in my life, and I have to decide on what vehicle to rent when I get to my destination. I'm going to do alot of driving so I decided on a 2006 Prius considering the mileage says 60 to a gallon.
Here's the thing, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to vehicles and don't know anything about Hybrids. Does the gas only get drained after the electricity is gone? Do you plug it in at gas stations and if so how much does it cost as opposed to gas itself?
Keep in mind I'm also renting it so I won't have any place to plug it in overnight assuming I'm suppose to do that.

Prius on high way is a shit. It doesn't use electric at highway speeds. Get a Yaris and be quiet little girl.

This is a joke... right?

But it's still really good MPG then yes? I'm seeing 51 on highway, the next best I can get is 30 and it's also more expensive per day.
There's only a few vehicles I can get where I'm going and this is the only hybrid. It's the cheapest and best MPG that's why I need to know everything about it.

Yaris owner here. Love my little bitch. Never has had any issues and gets great mpg, especially on highway.

Why are you renting a 10 year old car? It'll use the ICE when the load is heavy, like highway driving, it'll also kick on the engine when the battery gets low enough. You'll probably notice on the "shifter" that there's a brake option, this will engage your regenerative brakes so it'll give you a little charge while.

It's literally the best option for me where I'll be. The other ones involve way more gas intake and I'm extremely limited on funds as it is.

So put this option to brake and it will make the battery recharge better? What's the bonus of having it off?
