Prius is IDEAL for my type of commute ...

airliner53 · 04-30-2007, 12:49 PM

My commute of 13 miles each way is comprised of 2-3 miles of freeway at each end (for fast and efficient warm-up in each direction!) and about 7-8 miles of 40 mph in-town driving on perfectly level terrain, with a traffic signal every mile or so. Here's my MFD from yesterday, when I got to work - and it brought quite a smile to my face! (Sorry for the poor quality cellphone pic!)

Wow. That's pretty darned good. And 79º in MN?

Yeah, we actually get a couple days a year over 70 ... LOL. My commute in January is more like 45 mpg ... even with my block heater.
