About how much power does it actually take to maintain a speed of 30MPH in a Prius on level ground with no wind? I'm thinking it might be possible to install a bicycle generator in front of the passenger seat and use that provide a fair share of the power needed. (And of course, I really like the idea of Lauren Stanhouse acting as an APU for the Prius. Enable EV mode, let Lauren pedal to keep the battery charged, and at some impractically low speed, it can maintain an "infinite" MPG for a very long time. Add some more bicycle generators and fat chicks and it might actually be able to maintain a constant 30MPH on a track...)
