My experience is that it has ample power to pass on the freeway around here, but the limits here are 110km/h, but even so it's designed to have enough spare power to speed up easily by using the electric motor and gas engine together for bursts of acceleration.

However... you won't get good mileage driving like that, nor will you get good mileage driving like that in any other car, but you'll find that out pretty quick from the consumption screen.

You may need to wait in order to get a Prius, so better put your name on the list sooner, rather than later. Most get theirs at MSRP, Toyota has a reasonably good hold on their dealerships and can keep them from tacking on premiums for the most part.
