Just saw a preview of tonight's shows on NBC, Law & Order and West Wing. I couldn't tell which show it was for, but there was a Seaside Prius in the preview... being hit by another car! If you'd like to see whatever happens, I suggest tuning into NBC tonight.
Welp, it was West Wing. At the very beginning of the show, a character was at a Toyota dealership looking at the Prius. They were giving him the typical liberal-environmentalist rundown. Then he hopped in a huge SUV and accidentally hit some poor guy's Prius after waiting on the 8-month waiting list. Eek!
Turns out the whole episode was about energy conservation. Moral of the story: no technology besides gasoline engines are viable, today. The best bet is lower emissions and the Prius (which they mentioned a good 15 times).
and also people wouldnt be able to notice that it was a hybrid unless they knew how to distinguish between normal and HCH or until they hear them say its a hybrid.
1003 miles a tank personal record. 74MPG calculated. HCH1 CVT
