No noticeable difference between my 2005 Prius with 'em or my husband's 2004
Prius without 'em (yeah I know what greedy bastards that we are for having 2
of them ;-))

Thanks, Russ. And maybe you are the opposite of greedy--when
it comes to the world's resources.

We'd like to think so, but the SUV moms and Truck guys looked at us kinda
funny last time we filled up together (though that might have been because
of the clown noses we were wearing... just kidding)
AND, bonus, I was able to wait long-enough until the prices came back down
to where they were the last time I filled up... I so LOVE this car!

I love mine too! I drive a lot and tend to use about half a
tank per week. It is relatively pleasant to go get gas now!

LOL! Screw them! Now, i am not really interested in 'saving the planet',
but people who buy vehicles larger than they need are wastrils and need to
take a good look.
What kills me is every time the price of gas goes up, you watch the
evening news and they're interviewing some person crying about the high
cost of fuel and how it's going to cost him more to get to work, etc...
...while the person is filling the 50GAL tank on their Excursion!
You drive a Prius? Good for you!!!
