    Hi Fellow Prius Owners,

    One of the local TV stations had a segment on hypermilers. They didn't even interview a Prius owner, only a man with a regular Honda Civic and a man with a Honda Insght. There are three or four video clips to look at.

    If you are interested, you can find them at http://www.kotv.com

    Nice Story. I was actually happy they showed that it doesn't take a hybrid to get that kind of mileage. I was also relieved to hear the reporter add in the disclaimer at the end that coasting downhill with the engine off is illegal.

    BTW, here is a direct link for the video

    I started to post that link, but decided to just post the link to the station site so that it would be easy to the links to the individual interviews too.
