I purchased my 2007 Prius two months ago and have enjoyed outstanding performance in mountain conditions. I average 48 MPG and experience no performance problems despite a heavy snow season. I wish that every American viewed energy efficiency as true patriotism and helped this nation break its strategic dependence on foreign energy markets. I love my Prius. :kiss: I was interviewed for the following Earth Day feature story that circulated around the world :faint: and provides more information on the Prius: Coloradan extols virtues of hybrids : More Business : The Rocky Mountain News
