Every cell of my petrolhead being should be crying out in terror at the thought of running this eco sled" but shhh ' keep it a secret" won’t you? ' I actually quite like it# Seriously#
It’s a very relaxing and almost Zen like place to spend time sat in traffic# And I spend around three hours a day doing just that# My life is very manic" and the time spent commuting is often my time# It’s just what I need# Travelling from north to west London is rarely free flowing" and it’s this sort of journey the hybrid is engineered for#
It totally changes the way you drive" as you can’t help getting sucked into chasing mpg# It’s impossible to race from point to point# Go with the flow and embrace the slow lane# I’m getting an average of ()mpg in Normal mode" which is way beyond anything else I’ve driven on my route# It’s been as high as *+ in slow moving traffic#
Pulling away with a feather touch throttle means people always dive in front in traffic" but I just let it go and accept I’ll get there### a couple of minutes after I would have and safe in the knowledge I’ve not burnt gallons of fuel in the process#
However" I have to echo what Paul said about the graphics on the many displays in the Prius# It’s quite offensive having so many styles and sizes going on" and" for someone as typographically OCD like myself" it’s the one thing I find hard to deal with# I mean how much information is too much? There should be an option as in old Saabs to switch everything off and just have a less cluttered minimalist mode#
