    Filled up my tank this morning and noticed the following when I drove home, since I still had EV mode. I found it to be hilarious.

    999 mpg? 666 MPG if yer Prius PHV was flying upside down. That's something. They can fly, right?

    I believe the humor is found in that the trip tracking shows 999 mpg because the whole trip (1.3 miles) was in EV mode. The average speed was 18 mph and the gas engine apparently never turned on.

    The humor was probably one of those "you had to be there things." :)

    I can't tell.

    I'm still a wannabe Prius owner so I don't know if there's a decimal point hidden there.

    Is there?
