The mileage for the Prius is HIGHER in city driving because of the battery. 44 mpg city is not a good result.

You're right, it isn't. As Why? wrote a while back, most Americans aren't use to the different style of driving that garners the best results behind the wheel of a Hybrid of the type Toyota manufactures. The You Tube video that Hershey has posted a link to several times -- from MPG-o-matic featuring the Prius c -- touches on the driving style needed to get the results he obtained. Others have done even better MPG wise than the MPG-o-matic guy (probably with less traffic and more regenerative braking).
