Toyota has officially reported that the 2010 Toyota Prius will get 50mpg in combined use.
Some of the tricks Toyota is using to squeeze some more miles include an electric engine coolant pump, a lighter transaxle, and a new exhaust gas recirculation system.
The engine is actually larger than the older model allowing it to get better mileage on the highway because a larger engine can translate into more torque and lower engine speeds with less fuel needed.
