Your Lexus is presumably an SUV? A bone stock 2024 Prius gets 57 mpg and has almost 200HP. I'm in a 2013 Prius C that gets nearly 50.

My previous car was a 2000 Lexus ES that got 17 mpg. I basically paid for the Prius' loan with gas savings.

I'm also in the market as 10 years is about the max in Wisconsin before everything goes to hell, and I'll probably get another hybrid. My wife had a PHEV for a while but we didn't save any money on fuel as electricity is expensive here.
