Add to that the fact that EVERYDAY I see those idiots passing me on the hwy doing 85mph, where is the savings there? I now cringe every time I see a prius fly by me doing at least 20mph over the speed limit ..

Meh - you're missing the point... Mr. Prius is likely still getting more mpg 20+ over than it's counterpart at the speed limit. Which, is the point - no compromise (or very little).
You're going to have one hell of a time changing people's minds... It's a lot easier to change the product
If some ass is going to do 20 over - I'd rather it happen in a Prius than in my car or just about any other car... My car just doesn't perform as well at that speed - I can't compete with that aero. Sure, they
should slow down - if they were, you wouldn't have this gripe

Why? If the minivan is full, it's performing its intended duty and getting way more MPG per person than a single celebrity in a Prius.

A loaded minivan doesn't promote others to keep high occupancy in their minivans the way a celebrity promotes anything. I rarely see minivans or Prii with high occupancy anyway :/ It's a big If with respect to occupancy. In any case, Apples to apples, a fully loaded Prius (5) has a greater mpg per capita than a fully loaded minivan (7 - even 8).
