@ItsDefinatlyAlex Well....only because of my foot.

the prius can go faster but something was limiting the speed was it accelerating by itself lol

[useaol]

@Reparo96 It could have been that I didn't keep the accelerator planted long enough (in my private, closed track *cough cough*) It had accelerated slowly up to the indicated speed, then remained there.

more like 107 kph not mph

Uh uh!! US spec Toyota Prius, rented from Fox Rent a Car in LAX California. That's one hundred and seven miles per hour. No KPH here.

@jklitten Not true. Gasoline is only used when you're in eco or power mode and going above a certain speed/accelerating rapidly enough.

@slavasey93 plus if you got the elitronic limter off you might get it up too 115 MPH

@SakoTGrimes Actually, if you drive in battery only (EV mode), gasoline will be used to recharge the battery, which is very inefficient.

[SakoTGrimes]

7mph in a Prius equals infinite MPG... FAIL!

[wahkao1990]

107 gallons per mile to achieve 107 mph.

Better stick with 7mph to get 107mpg.
