Here's another thought that might make you feel a little less concerned about your commuting mileage.
If your round trip commute is [I'm assuming] about 20 miles, you're burning about a gallon a gas per day, spending say $2.40. If you had a car that got 30 mpg city, you'd be spending about $1.60 on gas. That's a difference of less than a buck a day.
For that 80 cents extra per day [more or less], you get to drive this super fine ride. As Mazdadude said, "there is no smiling when driving the prius". Or any other really high mileage vehicle. Unless you shell out a lot more money up front on the car.
So watch that mileage, which should increase as you add miles and the weather warms up. And be happy you chose a CX-5 GT, as close to a luxury car as you can get for under $35k.
You can get 55 mpg in a Mirage and smile though. Prius is just eh
