Excursion -- Mystery Subject
Anybody see anything wrong with this auction?
After you spot what I did, I will tie it into an Excursion discussion possibly.

Let me see:
27 grand for a used "economy" car with 30,000 miles. (Bad)
60/51 mpg EPA rating. (Good)
Oh wait, it only really gets 16.9 mpg according to it's own computer! (REALLY BAD)
I can get that with my F250 and it is paid for. (Better than buying a Prius)

I think you have to go more than 28 miles to get 45 MPG, like maybe 35 miles?
Maybe they had the numbers wrong on the engine size, 5.1L instead of 1.5L.

Could have just had the puter reset or battery disconnected and than simply driven on to the show room floor or service department or something of that nature...hard to tell?
Still a good one though!!!

My family has 2 prius(es?) and a lexus hybrid in addition to the X, and that mileage seems extremely low for a prius. Ours are averaging mid to upper 40's. Even if you drive it like you stole it, I think it still should be higher than that...
I think that either something is wrong with it (hence why its for sale when its such a hot car right now) or that someone left it on for a looong time in park (although the engine shuts off, it will run as necessary to keep the batteries from dying if the car is left on)
However, I suspect the former. Very suspicious...
