Breaking news on the 2010 Prius...

Driving in EV mode is now possible up to 46 mph...incredible!

Used to be you could only drive the Gen II Prius in EV mode up to 41 mph. Being able to do this up to 46 mph almost makes the car all electric driver (with a feather foot of course) up to minimum highway speeds. Now I understand why people are reporting 65-70 mpg in city driving...as long as you don't mash the go pedal you're cruising on battery power until 46 mph...stunning!
