Next Toyota Prius to hit 113 miles per gallon!

leftlanenews.com — Apparently the next Toyota Prius will get an insane 113 mpg. It's going to use lithium batteries instead of nickel and will accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in under 10 seconds, compared to 11 for the current model. Apr 10, 2006 View in Crawl 4

I read that, too, and it struck me as a stupid thing to say. OK, you save more gallons of fuel going from a 10 to a 12 mpg truck than a 51 mpg hybrid to a 94 mpg hybrid. But, you save a lot more going from a 10 mpg truck to a 94 mpg hybrid. I KNOW that a lot more people have 10-12 mpg trucks than 51mpg Prius' right now, so that comparrison is much more realistic.It's like saying 10mpg

A step in the right direction is better than sitting around saying, "Well we could do that, but lets wait for something better..." With the demand for new technology comes new innovation in the technology in demand.

I drive a '68 V8 Mustang. I don't even have to pass a smog test here in California 'cause classic (pre '73) muscle cars are just too cool for rulz!

Then wait no more. Lexus has several performance hybrids. The LS 600h L Hybrid has 438 total system horsepower ,and does 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. Oh yeah, it costs $104,000. But they do have another one, a GS450h with 340 total hp, that's actually a tick faster at 0-60 in 5.2 seconds, it's $54,900. But they get in the low 20s for MPG. It's due to weight I'm sure. The only way to dramatically increase mileage is to decrease weight. So don't complain when people in Prius accidents die at a higher rate than people in SUVs.
