Was that guy who flew past me in his Toyota Prius yesterday at around 80MPH being Green? Not to mention the fact that it was in a construction zone-45 mph posted everywhere?
Hey bud, no matter that you are driving a hybrid, when you drive it like that you are wasting gas.
Oh, and if i wanted i could have blown the doors off your toyota.

Those who think a Prius wont do 80mph, Hell, Al Gores son proved that wrong. He got busted a couple years back doing over 100mph (with drugs in the car as well) in a Toyota Prius.

Hehe i wish you had ran him over.
Its not the Hybrid thing that pisses me off, its the people who claim to be green, yet do stupid stuff like that. Buy a Hybrid but then leave the windows and doors open on their house while the furnace runs to try to heat it in the winter for example.

• Yes, going faster burns more gas. I drive long distances a lot and always have to decide if the extra money is worth the time I save and possibility of a ticket meaning even more money.
  
  They were being greener than a regular car doing the same thing so, in a way, yes. They were not using the vehicle in its manufactured purpose of getting (or trying to get) the best possible gas mileage so also no.
• Well it is against the law to be speeding obviously..
  But the faster you drive, the less petrol you actually use. Most cars have a gauge that shows you your fuel efficiency, It usually goes from 0-20, The slower your going the higher the reading on the gauge will show, meaning your using more petrol. For example, If the gauge read %26quot;15%26quot; It meant you are using 15L per 100km, The faster you go, the lower the gauge will read, meaning you%26#039;re more fuel efficient. So that guy in his fancy Prius that was speeding, was actually being more fuel efficient.
  
  Hope that answers your question,

• Most hybrids can%26#039;t reach up to the speeds of normal vehicles. So to your potential 170MPH a hybrid car can only go up to around 95MPH. Secondly is this a question or a rant?
• He was just being an A$$ while lining Japanese pockets with his purchase.
  If the lib elite can jetset to Bali to discuss a %26quot;climate crisis%26quot; being green must not be much of a priority then.
