    I would disagree with that.

    I posted about them having ads on maps.yahoo.com at http://priuschat.com/index.php?s=&show...st&p=173338. I've seen TV ads for the Prius and Toyota HSD and hybrid cars every now and then. In the past few weeks, I've been seeing ads here on TV touting the Prius' 60 mpg EPA city # and the 10 year/150K mile California HV battery warranty.

    Hmm

    Horsepower can vary with Altitude, Humidity, Temperature, and Fuel as well as some other variables such as the state of your oil and any air-flow issues like a dirty filter.

    Just because the manufacturer states an 'ideal' horspower, doesn't mean that if you put your ride on a Dyno you'll get that number. It all depends on your situation compared to the standardized test.

    In other words: Your Horsepower May Vary.

    Sounds familiar. Where have I heard that before?
