    Came out to the parking lot after work and found a small gathering of Priuses. First time that's happened in my little lot.

    A Herd of Prii?
    A flock of Prius?
    A murder of Prii?? (i hope not)
    A school of Prius?? or
    A Pod of Prius?

    Nope, I think its fairly well established that the correct mass noun is
    "a whisper of prii"

    They talk about their owners, and the trips they take, and they brag about their MPG.
    And they compare mods. :D

    I love when I get to my car and see another Prius parked next to me- I will go out of my way to park next to a Prius, and get so excited when some nut does the same!
    Tonight on the freeway there was a "herd" of 3 Prii and none of them even looked my way as I passed. Those must be the ones that simply view their car as transportation-LOSERS! hahahaha :lol:

    Or they were so busy watching their mpg and working on pulse & glide that they didn't even notice that you passed!

    An efficiency of Prii?

    I'm trying to learn the pulse-n-glide (still failing) and was coming home late last night on a four-lane highway, and the prius ahead of me suddenly slowed down. I moved over to pass, but I quickly realized he might be P&Ging. I stayed behind him for about 25 minutes before he turned off and think I learned something, he was probably pretty puzzled about why I didn't pass him considering he was going 35 in a 45 zone. Whether he was actually doing it or was just old or on the phone I will never know...

    Oh that's just cool... :D :D and the only visible difference I can see is the fog lights, which isn't a yearly mod, just an added feature.. excellent!!

    The funniest thing about the photo is how HUGE the Prius looks next to that Miata.

    I counted NINE Prii's (2004-2007 model) between my house and town today - roughly 4 1/2 miles.

    I have been dying to talk to another owner about MPG in our terrain and finally did. "I'm getting about 46 MPG...", "Around town?", I jealously asked. "Oh no. Can't get that kind of MPG around here. Average 36 MPG's in town."

    One owner down, hundreds to go.
