Default Prius on the Weather Channel
I just saw a short piece on the Prius on the Weather Channel.

In a segment called Forecast Earth, the reporter said that sales of Prius nearly doubled since Katrina. They showed the 60/51 sticker but had someone complaining about actual mileage and showed a graphic that showed that according to CR, the Prius could get as little as 35 MPG while the HCH could get as low as 26 MPG. Also they said that Toyota reports that cold weather can reduce fuel efficiency by up to 35%.

It's a Wonderful Day for Science!
