Talking Amazing - C52MPG

I went to my favorite pizza place and was drinking a beer and reading a repair manual when the cook came out:

Cook, "Is that your black Prius out back?"

Me, "Yes."

Cook, "What has been your mileage?"

Me, "52.4 MPG for over 50,000 miles. Why?"

Cook, "I had pointed out your car to my daughter a year ago with the C52MPG tag. She didn't understand it and I explained you were getting 52 MPG. How do you know?"

Me, "I use a web site to enter my miles and gallons and it is 52.4 MPG and in this warm weather, climbing."

Cook, "You are a smart man."

Of course if you are reading this, we are all pretty darn smart!

Talking Re: Amazing - C52MPG

Bob- what is the "C" for?

On order for my Insight:

GR84MPG

'Great For MPG' but also, if people mis-read it... I actually get 84 MPG on warm days.

So it works both ways.

I saw a Highlander Hybrid's plate this weekend that said "2YRPYBCK" <Two Year Payback>. I had to laugh.
