I'm working with 250 horsepower and this Prius has to get in front of me only to stop for a red light...?

Question

wouldn't you know it, traffic is held up while they click their way through a couple of gears going 35 miles per hour in just over a quarter of a minute...how insane was she? WHy do prius owners have to cut everyone else off just to slow everyone down? How much gas did she waste while wasting everyone time and slowing down the entire blvd?

Answer 1

35 mph in a quarter minute, that's fast!

Answer 2

The Prius has no gears to click through - it has an eCVT.

The Prius has a real-time fuel economy meter in it. More cars/trucks should. If you had one, you'd realize that flooring it off of a red light only wastes fuel. Best fuel economy is to moderate up to your max speed, and then coast a lot.

That Prius driver probably saved quite a bit of fuel for all of the drivers behind it!

and wow, 250 hp. What a waste of fuel there - you rarely need to use it all! (HP sells cars, but torque wins races... and the Prius probably has more torque than your vehicle!)

Answer 3

Hey do you realize that this place is for asking legitimate questions? It's not your personal gripe-site. You want to ask a real question with a real basis behind it then go ahead we are waiting.

Answer 4

Let's legalize big foot trucks for pleasure and for the road. I am for trucks, hummers, anything that will crush small Japanese cars that have no place in U.S roads. They just slow us all.
