Cargo to Go

[Leslie Bartlett]

Actually the one of which I know was an early one, and it was indeed a stick
shift. I drove it.

That sounds a little fishy to me because any "shifting" one does to
influence the power source is only done below 40 mph. And as there is no
shifter, any "shifting" is done simply with accelerator pressure. On the
highway above 40 or 45 mph, the gasoline engine is going to run 100% of the
time (unless you are going down a big hill) - so you really can't influence
anything anyway. If I keep my speed down around 60 mph, I can get close to
60 mpg on the freeway.

I have an acquaintence with a Prius who did a Houston to California and back
run, averaging about 54 mpg.  It's real, but he said it was a tough drive
because one had to be shifting all the time to balance battery and
engine.....
