I booked Std or Full at LGB. This was last year, 2 day weekend rental. With coupons, the rate was pretty low. They were going to give me a Grand Prix. I try to get something else as this car eats gas. I asked what else they had. Prius came up. I asked how more more. They said $10/day more. Done. ^ I seen alot of Prius on their lot that day.

At the time, the Prius used about $25 less gas so I came out ahead. I wanted to try out the car so the upgrade was well worth it. I averaged 55 mpg. Over 60mpg in town.
