Oldtanker, sorry to hear that the Prius did not work out for your son. I can't know why, because i have no way of knowing what conditions they operated in.
I am in central ND, so run in the same climate and roads as your son. We have a 2010 Prius generation 3.
In summer, we like to take long road trips on weekends. We will get in the Prius on a warm Sunday morning and just pick a direction and drive, see the sights, stop a bit here and there, just enjoy the country. We run at the posted speed limits for the roads, 65-75 on the highways. One Sunday we put on right at 600 miles in that 65-75 speed range. When we fueled up, we averaged a bit better than 53 mpg with two on board and a box lunch in the back seat.
That was not just a fluke on one trip, the car has never averaged less than 50 mpg in the near 3 years I have owned it, and we do not puts around at 45 mph.
If anyone is interested in checking this out, there is an owners board called Priuschat.com , where owners talk about everything to do with Prius. Do a little reading over there and you will see that 50+ is pretty much normal for those cars at normal highway speeds.
