If you do a lot of highway driving, though, then you won't see any more of a difference than you would in a similarly classed car.
I used to drive a normal honda accord, and didn't get nearly as dependable mileage as I do with the hybrid. And hybrids are good for highway driving at the recommended speed of 65, but not 70-75, at which I've been travelling recently.

I should have clarified that I don't necessarily need to refill after two two-way trips (keep in mind that I'm not including all the driving I do in Richmond/Charlottesville in the 4-5 hour amount of time), it's just easier to refill at one of my destinations than somewhere along I64 in the Virginian country.
