talking about Prius on KNX Radio LA & web this Sunday

I've set up my PoGo RadioYourWay to record from 7:13 to 7:26. so look forward to hearing your commentary! One thing I wished my new '06 had is cruise control that doesn't have to be reset every time you go below 24/25mph. I'd as soon just flip the resume from a stop and get back up to whatever speed that was my last maximum setting. My RX-8 does that (albeit not from 0mph but only after 19mph), plus if the CC is on and you press the throttle, the CC will adjust up to whatever speed you are at when you release the throttle. (Because of the RX-8's low mpg, plus its sensitivity to predetonation, I've gotten into the habit of using CC for most of its throttle operation, so that technique has transferred over to the Prius, just to let the computer judge how much throttle differential to apply when accelerating.) Also, wish the CC wouldn't disable after powering off, leaving you to have to remember to reenable the CC after every trip.

 

That's fantastic! I listen to KNX every morning between 5:45-7:30am and sometimes during the lunchtime hour and 4:30-5pm time slots. I'll keep an ear open for your talk-up on the Prius for sure! I get excited every time I hear that Bob McCormick (Money101) is doing a show on gas prices or hybrid cars, which has been several times so far this year and I've called in on occasion with my own perspective and corrections on media misinformation that he was touting about hybrids in general.
