My four door Toyota may ease me toward the M9 more quickly, though recently
driving across Kansas, I  wished for something that might reduce the amount
of time between point "A" corn fields, grain sograham and point "B".

I noticed,  however, Kansas has equalizers in place in the form of State
Troopers, so it probably makes more sense that I am getting 46 mpg in the
Prius rather than 146 mph in the Porsche.

By the way, the troopers in Kansas are really sneaky; they put the a light
green sedan radar car, down in the middle of the lanes; your first thought
is disabled motorist.  Your second is, YIKES!
