Clamoring around the small fleet of pre-production Priora (Prius'es) were a gaggle of reporters all interested, in their own way, as to what Toyota had up their sleeve with the new 2010 Prius.

I don't think I'm seeing the full story when I follow the link. Am I missing something?

The story is only displaying two paragraphs to some viewers because
its HTML doesn't close a comment right. Just under the "mutually
exclusive" there's a javascript construct and a CDATA [...] block
that tries to hide itself as a comment but doesn't close with a "-->"
at its end, so browsers are interpreting the entire rest of the
article as a huge HTML comment and hiding it. View-source and
you'll see all this.
.
See, yet another instance of when scripting just screws you.

I enjoyed the write-up especially because it included the average mph. Just a couple of quick technical questions:
  1. temperature of each run?
  2. ethanol or straight gas in area?
  3. normal octane rating of regular gas in your area?
Google Earth shows Tuscon to be about 750m, a significant improvement over the 180m in Huntsville. Is there a way or a set of way-points you might share that shows the the route taken?

Thanks,
Bob Wilson

ps. This thread is a lot easier to deal with. Thanks!

Great review with a lot of important information. Thanks Dan!

You may want to mention the Exhaust Heat Recovery system is not only to help the short trip but also a setup for the PHEV version. PHEV Prius will be able to shut down the gas engine much faster after the gas to come on to assist during hard accelerations.
