The Prius has no visible tach. I'm sure it has one that feeds into the onboard computer,
but it doesn't share that information with the end-user.

I keep trying to do the pulse-and-glide thing in the flats, there must be some trick to it that
I still don't get because it doesn't seem to make any difference at all.

My hats off to anyone with the dexterity to coax 37 mpg out of an Escape Hybrid,
especially in the mountains! Only time I ever saw that kind of mileage was on
a slight downgrade drafting behind trucks.
