Monday Morning Prius Diary - Porsche Edition

Submitted by Danny on November 2, 2009 - 12:02pm.

This past weekend found me traveling to Knoxville, Tennessee for yet another Carolina football game (and loss). I spent most of the game admiring the gorgeous HD scoreboard that UT added recently, and was surprised to see an ad for the 3rd Generation Prius during the game. Pretty cool!

I also had the opportunity to drive the very nice Porsche Panamera Turbo. At 500 hp this car takes off like a rocket. It also has a ton of coll tech toys. My MPGs? 13.1. Here's a photo for you to drool over.


Monday Morning Prius Diary - VI

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.

Monday Morning Prius Diary - 9/14

Submitted by Danny on September 14, 2009 - 11:50am.

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
