'open diffuser' on Prius

At Bonneville, with 'Spindletop'( 1984 CRX HF ):
* the 'nose', rear skirts, boat-tail with 'open' diffuser = 91.73-mph top speed.
* By 'closing' the diffuser down to the 2.8-degree upslope, top speed improved to 96.03-mph.

'holding'

What's left of me is doing okay compared to some I see around me.
I never found out what happened back in October due to a glitch in way the VA and private healthcare providers interact.
If I can get all the outstanding 'honey-dos' out of the way, I'll be back at my regular madness, and the trip to A2.
