I think similar thoughts. Whenever a Prius passes me, especially one driving NOT like a hypermiler, I think, "SUCKER!!!!" heh, heh, heh....
Some day, if I can ever start hitting 70 mpg on a regular basis, I've thought of getting a bumper sticker made that says something like,
"70 MPG - Priuses are gas hogs". That thought originally came about when I started hearing about the Aptera, an extreme aero hybrid that was supposed to get something insane like 125 mpg. I thought that bumper sticker would be great on one of those.
