How this compares
At 25 MPG combined, the 2018 Toyota Prius Prime ranks 14th of 24 midsize cars EPA rated for 2018 — 1.5 MPG short of the 26.5 MPG median for that group.
That places it a little below the middle of its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $1,150, $1,450 less than the $2,600 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $5,750, a $7,250 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 78 grams per mile — about 1.2 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
