Re: [Phys-l] gasoline

["Kilmer, Skip" <kilmers@greenhill.org>]

The best mileage I ever got was in stop and go driving on a freeway last spring. I think driving style has a lot to do with it. The greatest energy-saving feature of the Prius might be the real time mileage read out. I rarely go over 65, even in west Texas. I find myself in less of a hurry than I used to be.

Your 06 may be a little better than our 05.  Driving style may make much 
difference, vide Sheron.

In town is very "downtown", i.e. stop or signal every block.  Highway is 
70 to 80.   80 is not fast enuff for the #1 lane s. of San Jose on 101!

bc, who also finds the AC "absorbs" about 10%!
