"Best But" Toyota Hybrid FARM HOME Cars 26-4-15 Brian and Marsha Salisbury, St. Louis, Mo., are happy with the performance of their recently purchased Toyota Prius gas/electric hybrid car.
"We actually get better mileage in traffic jams than we do over the road," says Marsha about the 5-passenger car.
FARM SHOW unexpectedly met up with Marsha when she showed up at the Walt and Carol Gregory farm near Dow, Ill., to buy some asparagus. Dow is located across the Mississippi River from St. Louis and a few miles further north. Marsha drives quite a bit between St. Louis and Belleville, Ill.
We called a Toyota dealer in St. Louis for information about the gas/electric car. He told us the car automatically alternates between gas and electric. There's a 32-cell battery in the rear part of the car. It is alternately being charged and drawn upon to propel the car. The extra mileage in traffic jams results from using no gasoline at all. The only gas/electric cars on the market are made by Toyota and Honda. Currently, there are no American-made gas/electric cars.
