There is ajournalist here in San Jose, that has been publishing his
'adventures' with HIS Prius...  He claims that he is getting 52+ mpg.
Others claim 55+...

I've read that there are some sfotware 'hacks' that raise the mileage
to 100mpg...  Of course, that plays havoc with your warranty...

I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes.  I will surely
learn a great deal today.
