Interesting that you have a Prius as well as an EVC since we have an '04 Prius. I've also thought about the high cost of gas (and the consumption guilt issue, too) for the EVC camping trip vs the Prius camping trip [we have no problem going on long tent camping trips with small vehicles (our first crosscountry camping trip was done in a 1970 Austin America)]. About 3 years ago my wife, adult daughter, and I took a 30 day, 8900-mile crosscountry camping trip in the Prius. The poor car held up well and averaged 47.5 MPG. I figure that we bought the EVC for camping trips and that the increased fuel prices (well, up to a certain point, anyway) will not put a damper on EVC vacations. We're planning a trip of approx. 10,000 miles in the fall.

rather than EVC/camping. Your thoughts?
