^ Yeah I rented a Prius once. Drove from Orlando to Miami never going slower than 90 mph. I was passing Corvettes and Mustangs who were saving gas in the middle lane...oh the irony. When I arrived at my destination I managed 30+mpg.

agreed, saving less than a grand a year on gas by short shifting and keeping the revs low really looks silly in light of possibly causing a $8,000 emergency engine transplant.
