Going Green #2

So about a week ago we got the new prius...I wasn't too excited at first...weather has been crappy the last few days so my wife has been taking my car (gas guzzling SUV) and leaving me with the "golf cart" as i call it.

I hate to admit it, but i actually love the car...not only does it drive well and have alot more pickup than i expected...it gives you immediate updates on your MPG's..... which being of the competitive persuasion, has made driving the prius a game for me...

Every time i go out my goal is now to get better milage than i did before....which frequently pisses off those driving around me because you get better milage at 55 mph than if i drive my normal 75 to 80 mph. Yesterday i had up to 65 mpg... the funny thing is...i get better mileage driving in the city than highway...

My point...prius is an awesome car...much to my chagrin..
