Yes, but do they work for gas? That Prius is pretty cramped inside... hope it
has good air-flow. :-)

Is dat all you got? My 1985 Jetta diesel will do that, and it cost me $1,000!
(Although I've put about $3,000 into it in the past six years.)
On biodiesel (which is about 20% fossil fuel from the natgas that the methanol
is manufactured from), that means I'm producing 1/5th the carbon as a Prius.
And Obama would have paid me to send that gem to a crusher, as in "cash for
clunkers!"
> Hmm... Maybe this little trade-off might get me a new camera. :)
Plus a couple f2 zooms, if you had bought a 25-year-old diesel instead... :-)
Don't take me serious, Schnozz. I'm just ribbing you for making the right
choice for the wrong reason. Congrats on your new toy!
