And really you have to know your appropriate level of dickishness.

Participant[quote=flu] Side note: I bet the one reason why some prius drivers drive so slow and otherwise distracted is because they keep dicking around with the navigation unit that displays the instantaneous fuel consumption/savings on the system…Probably to the point that they drive 50mph on the left lane in a 70mph freeway like has happened a few times to me and/or just failed to stop around a right red light, as happened to me a few times too, or just did a lane change at such a slow speed, to make others screech at the brakes… as happened to me a few times too.[/quote]
The computer of my Prius has an ECO indicator that lights up when the engine RPM is at maximum efficiency. I usually drive the car so this indicator is on regardless of speed. If done successfully 50+ mpg are easily achieved. It is like playing a video game. This style of driving can bother other drivers on the freeway, in particular when going uphill. I always move to the right lane when approaching a hill. When going uphill my speed is not slower than trucks. Most drivers go around trucks but do not do the same for the Prius. Maybe because trucks are tall and people see them from far away and automatically start changing lanes to avoid them.

ParticipantA little too harsh here on Prius owners, and, lets face it guys, you are bitter about the gas saving they are getting compared to your vehicle. I’d guess Prius drivers are more likely to drive conservatively and have a lower incidence of hitting bicyclists than other cars.
I once rode my bike to MN. I quickly learned my greatest threats were young guys in pickups and old ladies in Buicks. The first group had it in for me; the second never saw me.April 6, 2011 at 10:11 PM #684460ParticipantA little too harsh here on Prius owners, and, lets face it guys, you are bitter about the gas saving they are getting compared to your vehicle.
