I lost track of what the OP was in this thread. I guess it to bash Prius and the people who by them. Good or bad Toyota went way out on a limb to make and sell the Prius when every one said it would not work. Well it did and they raised the bar as far as FE goes. The technology and battery advancement we are seeing now is due in great part because of the popularity of these cars.

For what ever reason people buy these cars it's probably a much better choice then what they were driving for both emissions and MPG and yes the Prius driver doing 85 would still be doing 85 but in something that got a lot less mileage.
