From the article:
The city of Clearwater in Florida purchased some Prius for its police and municipal departments and reports that after a year-long test the hybrid got more than 40 miles to the gallon, compared with 15 for a standard Ford Taurus. The city estimates it saved more than $8,000 in gasoline costs per vehicle over 75,000 miles of driving.
