Public apology to my 2002 Prius

I never realized how much power and performance you gave me until shopping for an SUV this year. Tesla Model X felt familiar during the test drives I took because the 90 KWh had the same feel with acceleration. Available hybrid vehicles did not meet my needs. Vehicles with just an ICE lacked power. Then I drove the Jaguar F-Pace! Wow! A ride I can enjoy for the foreseeable future! I bought the 2017 Jag this week and I think some of the driving style I acquired during 15 years with my Prius will help me get better than 20 mpg with the Jag. On the other hand, acceleration to get into traffic on an interstate, etc., might kill my gas mileage. However, I inherited some stock in Exxon-Mobile from my father ... might as well support one of my holdings when I drive! I am looking forward to the hybrid F-Pace arriving on our shores and will enjoy my current Jag until then.

 

RE: I never thought of my Prius's as slow, my other rig is an old V8 Dodge 4wd truck.. IT'S SLOW![/QUOTE]

My first car was a Dodge Coronet 440 R T. It just seemed to settle down and cruise nicely when going 110 mph!
