Toyota Camry Hybrid: pricey way to save a little on gas.

Toyota's Prius was a triumph as the first hybrid gasoline-electric car sold in America that you wouldn't be afraid to drive on Long Island - unlike the tiny two-seat Honda Insight. Although the Prius' estimates for fuel economy (especially the 60 miles per gallon in city driving) from the Environmental Protection Agency have turned out to be overly optimistic, its real world mid-40s mpg isn't too shabby. The five-passenger sedan, whose interior classifies it as a midsize car, makes an excellent commuter vehicle, if not the primary vehicle for an American family.
