Daily Prius Count?

ooh. i do not know.

daily, probably 12.

but i'm not in southern cal

 

I have been looking for quite awhile now since shopping for a prius. The other day I was cruising along 75 int. during rush hour and did not see one. I have seen maybe 2 in the last 2 weeks BTW this in the dallas area

 

A year ago today I would see maybe 2 a week.

Now I see at least 2 a day.

 

I have a 40-mile commute one way, and I typically see about 6 or 7 Prii each way. Also, I see about the same number in our parking lot. This is in SF Bay Area.

 

No more than 1 or 2 a week in northern NJ with a 28 mile commute one way.

 

I walk for exercise in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh daily and anally count prius. Saw 5 today, 3 '04-'05 and 2 '06 which is pretty good. Most ever was 7. This count has definately gone up since I got my Prius in July '05. Then I sometimes saw none but usually 1 or 2 - now more like 3 or 4 most days.

 

Here on Long Island (NY) I usually see one or two a day.

Yesterday, while in Brooklyn I was walking down Livingston Street and saw a Prius parked, then another, then another, then another. I looked around and realized I was surrounded by them. At one time I saw about 15 of them parked on the street. More then I had seen in a month.

Then I realized I was walking by the Department of Environmental Conservation, and they were all State cars used by government officials!

 

I used to see anywhere from 5-30 depending on the length of my drive that particular day. However, now that I have my own Prius, I tend to be so self-absorbed in my mpgs and consumption/energy screens that I only notice Priuses on the road if: 1) I'm stopped at a red light 2) One is in front of, behind, or beside me 3) I'm driving in a parking lot...so now it's like 0-5 per day on average. I see more on the freeway than on surface streets.

 

I see only 6 a day during the week down here in Orange County, Calif, but I am probably missing some... B)

 

I live in North Santa Monica... home of the Prius.

There are six Prius owners on my street, all within two blocks of mine. We have two red, two blue, and two white (mine being one of the white).

I drive Wilshire to the 405, to Ventura Blvd and back every day. I probably pass or am passed by another six or seven on the way. Often, back on the Westside I find myself in caravans of three or four Prii in a row.

My wife used to yell. "Prius!" whenever we passed one on the road. It got embarassing when she'd yell "Prius! Prius! Prius! Prius! Prius! Prius!" as we passed rows of them parked in metered spaces down by the Santa Monica Promenade.

So, I'd estimate somewhere between 20 and 50 a day, occassionally more, rarely less.

 

In February of '05 I was lucky to see one a day. Now it's at least six during my commute. Interestingly I saw three Seaside Pearls today; normally I only see one.

At work, two other people have Prii. One's the boss (Classic) while the other has the license plate "<heart>NHYBRD."

When I first got my Prius, I was the only one at my church. Now there's two more. I want to take a picture as one is Red, one is White and mine is Blue (well, Seaside Pearl).

 

Here in cleveland, i see two in the parking garage every day, and usually another 2-3 on my way there from home

LOL! thats funny. Glad to see em taking action!

 

I work right on a main suburb route and see about ten a day looking out the window. I see passing Gulf States Toyota trucks all the time with one or two new Prius' on them.

 

I routinely see so many here (Minnesota) that the counting game has changed.

Now the excitement comes from multiple sightings, where I get to see two or more at once!

 

At least 10-15 or more a day on the weekends when I am driving around town. Concord MA is not very big town but it is sort of an epicenter of successful former Cantabridgeans ( Peoples Republic of Cambridge for foreigners) so not surprising there would be a lot of Prii here relatively speaking.

I'm not one of them...

Henry David Thoreau would be proud, however, and probably drive one-but couldn't afford to own it.

 

I don't drive much. We live in a village, so I walk to the grocery store, walk to the post office, walk to the marina, and my office is in the same building where we live. That keeps the Prius sightings low. There are four Prius in our village, including ours, so it's always one of those that I see. Four doesn't sound like many, but there are only 600 people in the village, and it's the largest town in the county. We see more seagulls than people.

In Northern Virginia, in the HOV lanes, each morning and each afternoon .... lots. Plenty of Civic hybrids as well, and just this afternoon, 4 Escape hybrids, 2 Highlander hybrids, and a rare (at least around here) Mariner hybrid. Prius count is probably 6-12 each way ... and sometimes, with Civic hybrids as well, there will be 8-10 hyrids in a row.

 

0 today in hattiesburg, ms about a week ago I saw one in the grocery parking lot.
