Toyota Prius: Do you want to Increase Gas Mileage and save money?

I already get better gas mileage through the use of cow magnets and pyramids
which focus the energy of the universe into my gas and re-alligns the
electrons to burn much more efficiently than without these devices. So,
what, you think I'm going to fall for your cock and bull product which is
obviously aimed at the less informed among us? Hah, good luck pal.

Cow magnets. Cows stuck on the undercarriage can significantly reduce
fuel economy.

There have always been frauds out there trying to sell you ways to give you
better gas mileage. I remember cow magnets well, and I remember many people
buying them and swearing they got better mileage.

Cows sometime get scrap iron in their tummies. A typical cow magnet is
about the size of a D-Cell battery but with a smooth, elliptical shape.
Shove it down the cows throat and it picks up the nuts and nails on it way
out.

Fellow hit a buffalo with his car near my place night before last. That had
to hurt.

If most Americans gave conservation a little thought they would appreciate
the fact that they can help bring the price of gas down by conserving fuel.
That the law of supply and demand works is evidenced by the seasonal price
changes. When demand goes down in the winter, the price goes down with it.
I'm outraged that Texas would even consider an 80 mph speed limit which
would drive the price I pay for gasoline up. The discussions we have about
getting the best mileage out of our Prius are meaningful. Good mileage has
become a sport for me. I'm always trying to get that elusive 55 mpg tank.
My current tank was at 300 miles at 55.2 this morning when I started a 65
mile drive into a 20 mph headwind at 55 mph. Rats. Now its down to 53.6.

If it makes you feel any better, my 55-mpg tanks disappeared
after I took my car in for servicing. That always seems to do
a number on it.... I started out at 59-ish on the current
tank and am now down to 54.8 or so.

OK, I get it. First one to 55 takes all. Hope you have to drive through
deep water. :-)
Check the tire pressure. They screwed mine up, as with BPeg's.
