    Traveling I-75 South coming into FL from GA. I passed this nice little Prius pulling a decent size trailer. I was running cruise control in my company car (not a Prius) set at 79MPH. He was running over 75MPH, or faster. The little Prius that could...!

    Yeah, someone had to call me out:). It didn't take long!

    Regarding the mpg's, I wonder how much of a mpg decrease one would see pulling a trailer like that? It was empty, and I am guessing the trailer dry weight at 800 to 900lbs.
