Additional information:

In driving uphill and downhill around Chattanooga area on Indian Mountains.. with speeding uphill but downing we also use "B" (breaking engine or engine break.. I forgot). This really help to obtain green cars on the G-display consumption/energy.

What I want to complain about the Prius is Lighting system --headlight -- low beam / high beam is not like Honda Element.

I love the way Honda Element Lighting system, bright with appropriate angles that we can see from the distance both right and left. This helps us to assure what we can expect from the side of the road and for safety issues. I wish 2008 Prius could improve lighting system as decribed.

In driving on the mountain when it rain etc, foggy weather.. I wasn't happy much because we really can't see well. What I did just to use flashing light to let everyone knows that I was in trouble --- seeing.. However, there were so many people did the same thing. I don't feel awkward in doing so.
