主题：Got 61 MPG, who can beat me? -- 上庄步校

Got 61 MPG in a 100 mile trip today.

2005 Prius. Current miles: 36K

Condition: 70-75 degree, no wind, sunny

A/C on

Tips: use cruise control at 55 MPH

已经看到好多地方都说到，在高速上用 cruise control 可以省油。我就是有些不明白，对自动的也许，但是对手动的也是那样么？

我的车也是在时速55-65MPH这一段用巡航最省油。

用脚踩油门，难免时重时轻。这个好像跟自动手动没有关系了，在高速上跑，都是挂三档或者4档上。

恭喜：你意外获得【西西河通宝】一枚

鲜花已经成功送出。

此次送花为【有效送花赞扬，涨乐善、声望】

老兄还真够环保的！和周星星有得一拼！

等过了三十五岁，一定换辆hybrid的SUV。到那个时候，偶也要做做环保，积积德，修修来世。

The Hybrid SUVs are for those who want to FEEL green. They burn more gas than most cars.

A fuel efficient car is much better than any hybrid SUV. I think you can use a car for commute and keep an big SUV for the weekend.

送花感谢。

这个搭配看起来还真是不错，呵呵

老大，另外请教一下，你的Prius开起来手感如何？加速性能、off-road性能大概能达到四驱SUV的多少？安全性如何？有没有什么冲撞试验的视频，拿来共享一下！呵呵。

我一直没机会试试Prius，所以很没有概念，既然已经准备着三十五岁后搞辆环保车来开开了，现在就想多多了解。望步校兄不吝赐教。

另：步校兄是我川人么？看你以前有篇文章说起过新繁泡菜，倍感亲切，呵呵，握一下爪的先！

你用的汽油标号和品牌（Shell,Exxon....).

Shell 87 unlead. But it doesn't matter.

Usually I buy gas at any station where I can find better price. The type of gas doesn't matter in mileage (at least based on my own experience)

>Prius开起来手感?

It is very smooth and quiet. When it is run by electric engine, it makes less noise than a golf cart.

>？加速性

It can handle everyday use.

It has 76 hp gas engine and 67 hp eclectic motor. The total 133 hp is enough for a 2900 pounds car, The electric motor has 295 lb.-ft. torque, which is better than most car.

Sure, you don't expect you can zip-zap on the highway, but it is enough for passing on the interstate.

>off-road:

You have to forget about it when you drive a Prius

>Saftey:

It rates better (or as good as) than most cars:

The sheet metal is very thin (like other Toyota), so you should expect it will absorb energy :)

I got all of the safety options in my Prius. The price of these options is pretty good (compared to other Toyota). Here is the list:

Side and curtain air bag

Bake assist

Stability control

Traction control

Skip control

小弟也是四川人，二十岁以前都在成都九眼桥一带混。在米国实在是苦啊。俺已打定主意回成都养老了。

兄台看来买这车作了不少研究啊！

献花感谢！

小弟原先住温江的，他乡遇老乡，两眼泪汪汪啊，呵呵，成都的确是个养老的好地方，不过偶是只能等退休后才有可能回去了。
