Sonoma County, Ca. Consultant
 

I work as a consultant and travel alot over the No Cal. terrain. In 2005 I got a Prius and have recently started using the principles of the Hypermiler before I knew that others were doing the same. After getting a speeding ticket in 2006, I have found that the benefits of slowing down save $$ plus no worry about more tickets. I have been averaging 50 to 52 MPG and am thrilled to get more by trying new ideas. I am so pleased to fine a site where these gas saving ideas can be explored.

Welcome to the site, pantherwings.

The Prius is a great platform, and responds REALLY well at modest highway speeds. I'm pretty sure EcoModder member krousdb said he got 70+ mpg at 55 mph on cruise control on the way to HybridFest in his somewhat aeromodded Prius.

Welcome to ecomodder! I still have yet to drive a prius...but mehbe one day I'll just cruise into the toyota dealership with a gun and demand a test drive.

Welcome to the site. I'll repeat that the Prius is an amazing vehicle that is capable of truely amazing mileage. Learn all you can about how to drive it correctly.
