    Here, with the Police so aggressive with speed (apparently only 2km/hr leeway - but they won't confirm that), you don't want to go over. But if your speedometer is reading 8 below (like my previous FIESTA), you'll have people tail-gate you ridiculously. Here, you NEED to know.

    I think they have a minimum on some highways in Colorado too.

    Interesting! It was a copy and paste from the website. o_O Anyhoo, I added the www, so it should work better.

    Managed to do about 185kph in my 2006 Prius in Germany. Would have tried for more but the wife started squawking. :)

    Edit: just realised different units!

    Hi - Sorry not sure if I am using this forum right and I don't have answer to this question .... but I am wondering if anyone on this thread that has a 2017 or 2018 Prius Four***if they had a choice to go with the 2019 Prius xle and .... would they give up their 2017 or 2018 Prius Four? I have a 2017 Prius Prime Advanced plug in - I have to trADE IT IN BECAUSE I need a 5 passenger car .... I can get a 2018 Prius 4 FWD with all the buttons and whistle for the same price as the 2019 Prius xle AWD..... Any opinions would be greatly appreciated ... thank you

    So, what you've done is called hijacking a thread--asking an unrelated question on an existing thread. You should start a new thread with your new question, which is what it looks like you did...

    I think I actually get better results by searching Google and including "priuschat" in the search parameters.

    Or to get really technical use...

    site:priuschat.com stuff to search for

    And that'll give you only hits for this site.

    There's a quirk with Priuschat search: you can enter text to search, set parameter, click go, and it will find nothing. Repeat, everything the same, and then it finds things. Still, Googling "Priuschat + search text", yeah, the way to go.

    It's not a link, you type that into the Google search box.

    Adding...

    site:whatever.com

    ...to the search box will limit search results to ones from that domain only.

    You can also remove results that contain words too or insist on words and phrases by using - before a word or wrapping the word in quotes.

    For example, if you put into Google:

    site:recipe.com "apple pie" -custard

    It'll return only results from recipe.com where the page has the phrase "apple pie" but does not mention custard.

    Ahh - the normal Google exceptions or inclusions - my error was that I blocked and copied:

    upload_2019-4-19_18-10-35.png - which didn't go anywhere. I'll try again after dinner.

    Back in the room, 10% over read seems to be the norm in the UK. I don't know why we can't have it closer, like 2% :(

    Mine is only 3% over - at the 100km/hr speed limit, I drive at 103 by the Sat Nav to be at 100. Interestingly, it's 3km/hr over at 110, 80 and 60 as well.
