Toyota is taking the Prius v out on the road and they want you to come by and check it out for yourself. There won't be any test drives available, but you'll be able to poke around the car and check out those sweet reclining rear seats, as well as seeing how many bodies flowers you can fit in the expanded cargo area.

I spent the weekend in a 2010 Honda Pilot, leaving the Prius at home for my trip to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. We averaged a pretty painful 20.5 MPG overall (about 10% below the EPA highway numbers), but the added space was nice.

The Monday Morning Prius Diary seems to be getting A LOT more response over on our Facebook page, so feel free to become a "fan" of PriusChat and post your own comment about your weekend.

This weekend my wife and I loaded up the dog and tailgating supplies to head to Athens, Georgia and the University of Georgia for the South Carolina/Georgia football game.  We started out basically where we left off last weekend - 100 miles and 60 MPG into a tank.  Our first stop was in Greenville, SC Friday night to drop off the dog at his grandparents house.  Trip from Charlotte to Greenville: ~120 miles, 56 MPG.  4 MPG drop isn't bad for all interstate driving.  The next morning my Dad and I gave my 2010 Prius a much-needed wash.  It had been before our move

Welcome to a new feature on PriusChat - the Monday Morning Prius Diary.  Each Monday morning I'll start out the day by telling you a little bit about where I went in my Prius over the weekend and how my car played a role in my trip.  Our first Monday Morning Diary is actually going to be a Tuesday Morning Diary due to the Labor Day holiday weekend, but you get the idea.  Please post a comment in the discussion thread sharing your Monday Morning Prius Diary with the PriusChat community.  Here we go...

Now the action is starting to pick up as Prius Drive Thru makes their way into Madison for the Green Drive Expo.

Here is video from Day 3 of the Prius Drive Thru Summer tour across America.  Looks like Russell and crew are going through some beautiful parts of the US.

I'm a little behind on posting these due to the recent move, so here I am catching up. This is video from Prius Drive Thru's trip across America - Day 2 Toledo to Racine
