Re: Prius and high speed interstate driving
My prius does well at high speeds, but your MPG will fall below 50 at these speeds. It can handle continuous grades at 85 with the only symptom being a little engine noise (higher rpm to generate the required horsepower). Enjoy this great car.

ps - I have done several round trips East Coast - Chicago (900 miles) with 3 adults in my prius. The Pensylvania mountains are not the rockies, but they are a reasonable test.
