Should I sell my Honda CR-V for a Toyota Prius?

I own a 2002 Honda CR-V. I LOVE this car! It has been so easy to maintain...no major repairs and it's at 130,000 miles! I bought it used and have had no complaints. I live in the country and work on a farm and own horses. I love the cargo space for driving my big dogs around and for carrying bales of hay or 50lb bags of feed. The 4WD also is reliable for the snowy winters we get on these country roads. Again I love this vehicle to death! But I am in school for nursing and work a lot of various jobs so I drive all around town. I mean I do A LOT of driving. Back roads and highway equally. The gas mileage on the CR-V is not bad for all that vehicle. But I fill up several times a week and with gas prices going up is going to kill me. I have been considering selling the CR-V to get a Prius for the gas mileage. But is this a good car in other aspects? Does it have longevity and is it low maintenance? I know it is 2WD and has less cargo room which I could deal with if I have to. Basically is it wise to sell the CR-V to get a Prius for gas mileage alone?
