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.

ParticipantThe people from Libya will be the most impacted from the Japanese earthquake. I see Gadhafi killing more rebels than the death toll in Japan.

ParticipantGood time to buy unless a lot of radiation leaks. If that happens all bets are off. BP was a great buy at the height of the oil spill crisis.
