    OK, let's nip this in the bud right now. This is purely and simply an urban myth/legend. Besides everyone knows if you did, a Prius won't ripen in a pure nitrogen atmosphere and therefore the hybrid system won't fully mature. Duh.

    You have to add a little ethylene gas.

    Very nice.

    We have video on the additional driving modes if you go to youtube/toyotasanfrancisco :)

    Your car should be fine driving on eco mode even at highway speeds.

    No problem, as I see more people wanting one I'll also try and keep it updated for you.

    You're not kidding! I hope being in the main forum will drum up some more business... Maybe Danny would be interested in buying some for the shop here?
