Highway trip update..

Got the Prius to warp stealth quite a bit during the trip home! Lots of fun there. Combined with a little semi drafting for that high MPG near death experience was a blast.

Got 4.2 /100Km "between the hills" but the Upper levels highway pushed the average back to 4.5 pretty quick. Darned topography.

Of course now I'm chomping at the bit to do the aero mods.

Picked up some Ikea stainless platters to make into screw on moonies. Have to wait till next week to install them though.
