    You mean 100MPG? Because you don't want to come down a mountain at 100MPH thats suicidal?

    If you mean 100 MPG can you please teach me what you just said? I am new to a Prius and what do you mean by ICE from Spinning?
    What is hyper stealth?? If you step a bit on the accelerater then only the traction motor steps in and not the Engine?

    I think it's 100mph since if you're hyper-stealthing, you're not regenerating and if you're not regenerating or riding the brakes, you'll be speed up down the hill.


    I think he wrote that post in jest, not that 100mph down the mountain isn't unheard of (I was doing 143km/h in the Camry and had a Corolla blow by me with 5 ppl inside. My guess that he was doing at least 160km/h or 100mph). Of course, not all mountains roads are that wide and that long and with very mild curves. Most have pretty sharp corners.
