I actually tried this last night with similar results. Of course eventually the little battery drains out...

Yea. It’s a small high voltage battery, but we can still get great results out of a non-plug in hybrid. 😀

Driving at 60 on the highway can get you rear ended!
This was for test purposes. Was in the right (non-hammer) lane and paying attention to everything around me (as always). Don’t judge me.

Flashback to the early 2000s. every time behind a poke driver it was a Prius. :ROFLMAO:

saying "don't judge me" twice in the first 5 posts, priceless.

Probably by you. JK

Last night on I-35 north out of Kansas City, I drove for 25 miles at 68 mph. By the time I got to my exit at least 4 cars were safely following me and no one got rammed. I rarely drive above 70mph, the reflexes at age 69 just are not what they used to be.

Its not illegal to drive below the speed suggestion.

All I said is that driving 60 on the highway "CAN" get you rear ended. The reason is all the crazies driving 80+ who are not paying attention. Also how close were those 4 cars folloing behind you? Many drivers will almost tailgate on the highway behind slower drivers. That can cause an accident.

Several places in my state the limit is 60 and if you go a little south into VA several places are 55. So in that case driving above 60 will get you some huge court costs with that speeding ticket ;P
