    I posted a new video of my 2016 Prius about the downhill trip I take every day. It is at

    For anyone not wanting to view the video here are a couple of photos and some info. The drive to the bottom of the hill is about 526 foot elevation to just about sea level. The 2.6 miles takes less than 10 minutes depending on traffic. Most days the average speed is 18 to 20 miles per hour. The battery fills up or is one bar from full.

    Love the video, and the bird noises are a surprise! I've yet to be able to get the battery to be full up like you, it seems to stop at 2 bars below full.

    Thanks Dragon Rider. I lived just north of you for 21 years in Lighthouse Point and Davie. I'll take the roads here any day. I remember those pot holes and the flooding.

    Thanks Raspy. I don't use music in my videosbut I thought the birds would be appropiate for the prius.

    Nice video JimmyPri. Reminds me of our recent stay on Kawaii.

    PS - If you allow embedding on YouTube, your video will be playable here instead of just YT.

    Thanks RoadNoise, I only recently joined youtube so it might be a while before I learn those little things. Thanks for the tip.
