    Nah. The Prius driven at 80mph is still getting better mpg than most any other car driven in the same way. Those guys/girls are still getting 40+mpg.

    Some will drive a Prius using all the tricks it offers to get the very best mileage. Others will drive a Prius to get the very best mileage possible without learning new tricks. It is Win-Win.

    If you are going to drive 80 a Prius is still more efficient than any other car at 80.
