[Leica] Totally OT: Prius experiences?

[jhnichols at bellsouth.net (Jim Nichols)]

Bob,

I have to agree about the fascination with the MPG readout.  I recently 
bought a 2007 Volvo V70 which has that readout available, and I find myself 
consulting it frequently, which takes me away from looking through the 
windshield. I use it, mainly, to see the negative affect of rapid 
acceleration.  I have only stomped on the turbo a couple of times to get 
rapid acceleration when necessary.
