You have GOT to be kidding me...

Btw, I was headed to get my emissions done today and I had a Prius do a ricer flyby on me. I'm thinking...why? I'm going EXACTLY the speed limit; everyone would expect me to be the douche on the road. Aren't Priuses supposed to be consumption conscious? Seriously, I've never seen such a focused group of overly aggressive drivers.

Because for most Prius owners it's about "virtue signalling" and not actually conserving the environment. Just my .02...

You haven't met my dad. He's an aggressive driver and hates paying for gas, so he bought a Prius and drives around with the pedal to the floor and the "power" mode button pushed.

Parent have a Prius. There's something to be said when you can do 80 mph to Vegas from San Diego and only use $20.00 in gas.

The Prius can still get mediocre gas mileage if your drive like a dingle berry lol

I would say at least 75% of the Priuses (Priui? Prius'? Priuseseses?) are driving aggressively or fast lane 10+ mph over the limit. The rest are hypermilers going 10 under.. doesn't seem to be an inbetween with those things.

Top gear did a test--they had the Stig drive a Prius as fast as possible around a track, and an M3 followed--the M3 got better gas milage in that situation.

I've decided I love Priuses--one, it keeps my blood pressure down, and two it is saving gas for the rest of us.

Local dealer sold the last TRD, typeR, V-spec, Quad turbo W12 PriusRC our from under me with an $8.27 ADM. Pissed me off so badly I marched right out of there and to my closest Ford dealer and rolled out in my 350.

Yes. Everytime I crank my R up I feel ashamed and scared of what my neighbors are thinking about me. Especially the Kommyfornian's for Beto transplants on my street. I usually idle by and try not pop the throttle as I go by their dwelling so as not to disturb their zin.
