I'd love to have a hybrid!
Hiya,
After eeking out a high of 47.5 in my xA; and most recently I have been seeing 41.5-43mpg -- because of the cooler weather and the denser air, (and winter blend of gasoline?). This week I get to drive my Mom's 2005 Prius -- and during the first 175 miles I've driven it -- I averaged 58.9mpg!! Just like that; I shatter my best wit the xA, and I got at least 15-17 MORE mpg than I was getting just prior... :D Wow. I don't have to shut it off at traffic lights, or in stop-and-go traffic. I only need to "downshift" (into 'B') when I need to slow down -- no coasting in neutral, etc. It's too easy! :thumbup: :cool: |
Yeah I wish I had one too. Would be so much easier.

Yeah, they definitly are nice. Look at the numbers some of the insight boys are getting. Also, diamondlarry has been pushing some incredible numbers out of his Prius this summer. 60mpg is the tip of the iceberg. :)

Isn't it great :D I rented an NW20 last year in LA... I thought it was very fun :D
The things you like are exactly why I like the Prius (and similar).... Sure, you could get great numbers like that from a 3 cyl geo.... But people aren't willing to compromise enough... Give them a Prius, which is a fairly large car, and they get these great numbers no sweat. Little to no compromise, better FE. Okay fine, there's hybrid SUV's - you'll go from 20 to 30 (or whatever)... But those additional 10mpg save more fuel than going from 45 to 60 o.0 It'd be great if they went from 20 to 60, but lets not yell at brick walls :D |
Hi,
I drove it in to work today, and raised the average to 59.9...I'll check the tire pressure when I get home, and I'm going to try some zigzag tape, too. |
Mehbe with the new Insight they'll start to become more the "peoples' car"
