We swapped out a Nissan Altima for a Rav4 Prime. We went from $110 fill-ups every eleven days to $75 once every four to five weeks. In terms of old school MPG, the Altima at its best got in the mid-thirties. The Rav4 Prime, at its worst, got 60. On average it is closer to 110 MPG.

We swapped out an Altima for a Rav4 Prime. We went from $110 fill-ups every ten days to $60 tanks once every 4 to 5 weeks.
Five years in with the #PHEV and no regrets. It felt like a transition move at the time, but it’s proven to be the sweet spot for range and flexibility.
Hindsight is 20/20, and this is one decision that aged well. 🚙⚡️

This miscreant is doubtlessly plotting his next round of mischief and mayhem after shredding the hood liner of my car.

Years ago I made the mistake of saying that "Spring is coming" to a coworker.
Of course it was -20c in the middle of a storm.
Their only reply was,"Coming? Christ... it's not even breathing heavy!"
I snorted my coffed laughing.
And then she laughed at me.
