    How did you get a Toyota Prius Prime in Rochester, NY (my home town) when I can't get one on Denver, Colorado?

    I reran a hill, 525ft 8% grade 1.2 miles, decent at 65 mph. About the last 1/3d the engine rpm increased as did the sound. The energy flow did not show power flow to the engine but I've never seen that using B in the earlier Prius. The EV range started a 23.3 mi and was 24.4 mi at the bottom.

    OK, so the Prime Cruise Control is different than other cars, including my old Prius PIP.

    So if I want to change the Cruise Set Speed, I'll raise or lower my speed and then just Pull the lever to Cancel Cruise, then Press it down to Set to the new speed.

    I can remember and get used to the difference, but there doesn't seem to be a good reason why it's different.

    We have aggressive Toyota Dealers, I guess.
