In my area the Prius is the car that is always going way over the speed limit also.

My wife and I made a trip last month to the Fairmont Hot Sprigs in Montana. Montana has increased the speed limit to 80 mph on some parts of I 90.

As soon as we hit the 80mph speed limit I noticed all the traffic was now averaging 90 mph. So I increased my speed to 90mph to keep from getting ran over. Then after about 20 minutes I noticed a Prius flew up on me like I was standing still. So I increased my speed to the same as his to see how fast he was going. Well it shocked me we were doing 105mph. My wife woke up from her nap and ask me what the Hell are you doing? I said trying to keep up with this Prius thats in front of us.lol She gave me the look and I slowed back down to 90mph. Then a lifted diesel truck flew past us and was on the Prius ass. The Prius stayed in front and started to pull away from him. Eventually I could no longer see them as they disappeared in front of me. About a 1/2 hour went by and I came up on the same diesel that was following the Prius earlier but this time he was only going maybe 55 mph at the most blowing smoke out from the engine bay.
