A comment on Can you solve Seth Godin's math problem? .
If we drive 1300 miles the numbers all work out easily (because it's divisible by 10, 50 100 and 13)
Suburbans get 10 mpg: 130 gallons
Priuses get 50 mpg: 26 gallons.
Suburbans @ 13 mpg: 100 gallons (30 gallons improvement)
New Prius @ 100 mpg: 13 gallons (13 gallons improvement)
So clearly the best thing to do is scrap all the Suburbans and replace each with a newer style Prius.
