    I was stuck in freeway traffic the other day on my commute home on the 405 (Orange County). I noticed the 1 min consumption had more 100mpg bars than I've ever seen. Took a quick cell phone pic and thought I would share. 2010 Prius II in Blizzard Pearl.

    Obviously you were driving in L.A. freeway traffic and drafting a larger vehicle at less than one car length. Isn't that normal for L.A.?

    Having that new bit of data available is quite informative, eh?
