Is the average prius driver smarter than the average American? Yes and No, it depends! Answer is YES if the Prius driver: -Knows what makes Prius a Prius, its tecnnology and why choose to drive it (not because the neighbor has one). -Bought the Prius under or at MSRP the most. -is hypermiling his/her Prius on public roads without creating the "road block" effect. -RTFM for common features on the Prius like 'how do I open......or what this light is for....' -Fill-up the tank before the Fuel-light even turns on for reminder. Answer is NO if the Prius driver: -Do none of the YES above and beyond. -Paid whatever the dealer is asking for Services/Warranty/Price, just because it's a Hybrid and it's complicated and in high-demand. |

Just see what a visit to Ireland did for freshmtt, one of the main reasons she bought a Prius. She couldn't believe the gas mileage out of ordinary rental cars here. You better pay a flying visit before the oil gets too dear, cos it's a long way by boat. See; there's no such thing as the average American |

Well I don't know about you, but I must be, as I drive a Prius and gas is $4.00 + a gallon and since I live in Iowa, I hope the thing floats too.  |

I lurked in here until we bought our 08 Silver Pine Mica #6... There are some rather smart folks in here... as well as a number of total nincompoops. I'd say between this forum and my other favorite one (Corvetteforum.com) that I have a good chance to find out the skinny on most any topic and have the right data within a day if I didn't have a clue about something I needed to know about. Although, I think... there are more Engineers, Auditors, Doctors, Lawyers, Indian Cheifs on CF than I've seen in here... yet.
