But absolutely not. No imagination, no exaggeration. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now yesterday was Sunday and traffic was very
light. When traffic is not a consideration, the Prius can actually be quite
a bit of fun to drive. When there is no traffic, there are a host of
driving techniques that one can employ to dramatically increase fuel mileage
(forcing the car to run off the battery, gliding, etc.). Driving to downtown
yesterday, for my first 10 miles or so I had zero traffic and I could drive
as silly as I wanted - I was averaging about 85 mpg until I ran into a bit of
traffic that made my average plummet to 75 mpg!</FONT></DIV>
