If you are going to drive 90+ MPH? Are you really saving gas at that point?

I was going 80 on I-10 over the weekend, and some guy in a Prius went by me like I was standing still.

If you are buying a Prius. I don't think top end speed is a huge concern of yours.

You save gas primarily in city driving with a Prius. You know, electric and all.

99% of the Prius drivers I see hang out in the left lane going about 5 under the speed limit clearly oblivious to the 30 cars stacked up behind him/her trying to get by.

Because you're environmentally conscious and not an obtuse redneck.

Because if no one posted dumb things, chicken would have to actually work for a living.

I just bought a Prius a month ago. I drive 80-85 every day to and from work. I like the fact that combined with city driving I have still managed to get 43.8mpg and not had to drive under 60 everywhere.

If I would drive in the 55mph range Id actually get 50+ per gal but I drive around 200-250 miles a day.

Did you do the math on your payback? You could've saved thousands by getting a Corolla vs. a Prius. So with gas at $1.50 a gallon, it will take a lot of driving to make up the initial costs.

2. Drive 90mph+ to save more gas
3. Profit

Fuel efficiency increases on a steep curve the faster you go. at 100mph you get roughly twice the mpg as if you were only going 50mph. I know it sounds completely counterintuitive to logic, but I learned that last year right here on TD.

They say if you get rear-ended in a Prius you die of AIDS.

So you can flaunt your moral superiority.
