Funny you should say that, my mom was giving me that idea last night. I told her you got to be kidding me, she said no, you should get a prius hybrid because you drive a lot. Time for me, you, and Omi to create the Florida Prius Owners Club

You guys think you have it bad, my coworker said she spent $670 on gas last month, and she drives an Acura MDX...

yeah usually speeds over 55 but who has room to go that fast for any length of time? Well at least here in tampa you can't. SO I am haappy to be just getting away with my jack rabbit starts.

They did test this myth out on myth busters and IIRC they found this theory to be correct. Windows up and AC on at speeds of 55+ defenitely better on gas.
