Getting passed... - Toyota Yaris Forums

I get passed on the highway all the time -- by Priuses. It happens almost every day to me. Part of me dies inside every time it happens.

You are getting better mileage.

Maybe your beard is creating too much drag?

Juuuuust kidding.

It has been said here before but probably lost in the hack...... Prius owners speed all the time then bitch about MPG....

Am I the only one with a beard here? lol

And I routinely do drive 55mph on the highway, but the past few days I've been waking up late and doing 70mph -- still being passed. Was passed by a blue one today that was weaving in and out of traffic.

Don't give them much thought except when they hog the passing lane. When they pass me, which is rare because there are so damn few of them around here, I don't sweat it - it's not my money being wasted on fuel and pounding those poor little electric motors.

It dosn't matter how fast you drive. Someone will want to pass. The only time people drive under the speed limit is when there is a traffic jam.

Prius owners love to pass Yarii - it's the only way they can feel "superior" about their cars .....

duck · 10-24-2008, 01:05 PM

well, since I don't drive for mileage (gasp) then consider everything evened out - I pass Priii (?!) all the time. I try to buzz by any compact car or hybrid.

Just by reading your other threads, aren't you a Hypermiler?

Sodium Duck · 10-24-2008, 04:45 PM

Sort of.

I shaved mine when I noticed how gray it was!

Gray beards are cool, grow it back!
