Prius goes 104 MPH
Steve Wozniak, yes, the co-founder of Apple, has joined Al Gore III in the Prius Hall of Shame. See, both these folks have been caught going over 100 MPH in their Prius - something many folks didn’t even know was possible. Steve was doing 104, which nearly beat out Gore III’s 105 MPH run. As we all know, speed is the enemy of fuel economy, and going 100+ MPH pretty much defeats the purpose of owning a hybrid in the first place.
The judge did end up whacking Mr. Wozniak with a $700 fine, which is approximately the equivalent of fining me eleven cents. Oh well, at least he wasn’t going 100 in his Hummer. Oh yea, he owns a Hummer too - quite the combo, indeed.
Perhaps I should start a Hybrid Hall of Shame….
