Tbh, there's plenty of small petrol cars now that give fantastic mpg- better than the sort of thing we get from the Prius things at work. If it's just economy you're after, get a small, cheap VW diesel Golf or Polo or a small petrol car. If you want to save the planet, then don't get a Prius....
I thought about getting a second small car but small cars in my experience are not the best for 200 miles of motorway a day- I know as I tried it when I had the Paj. And second insurance, MOTs, repairs etc negated the savings. I just drive slower instead. I know you couldn't drive slower if you tried though...
How about a motorbike? Or even an electric bike? Possible with your work..?
Looking at all options. I need to wear a suit and carry about 11kg of IT equipment....... Not on a bike. If I came off, it would be an expensive day
