According to the Web very few Prius owners are getting 57mpg. Think they are getting high 40's low 50's at best
Look long and hard at the VW TDI cars (currently Golf, Jetta, New Bug and near future Passat)
I drive a Jetta TDI (2000) now have 115K miles and lifetime mileage is 51.8 mpg. I can carry 4 people and loads of luggage. Accelerate well stock and even better with a chip. I have seen an indicated 135 mph with mine. I usually see 700 to 750 miles between fill ups. I have gone as far as 910 miles.
On mountain roads I have never had to down shift and actually been able to accelerate while climbing the grade in 5th gear.
