Default Re: Disappointing gas mileage

But your emissions are MUCH lower! That's got to be good for not only you, but your kids, grandkids, neighbors...well, everyone on the planet.

I know using less (getting the higher MPG) would be great too, but even the Prius "wastes" gas for the first 5 minutes to warm the emission control parts/engine, etc. to get lower emissions.

Over the long haul it's worth it not to pollute our only home.

I'm also pretty sure the HH is a kick to drive, just like my Prius is. I'm gonna see about a test drive when our 2nd Prius comes in. (2 weeks and counting!)
