MPG Video - Just for fun
Hey all!
It's my first video so be easy...it's shaky, the audio isn't the best...it was taken from my cell phone. Keep the audio down for the first part, I actually wasn't thinking about lowering the volume (until I think about 45 seconds in).
I remember people saying that you lose 5% for each 5 miles over 60MPH, I figured i'd test that theory and see if it were true, the results are in the video!
Had the A.C.'ve been off, i'm sure I would have gotten another 2 MPG.

- With the A.C. on.
- At 70 MPH

Hey, did you guys get to see the whole video? I just tried watching it myself and it seems to cut off after I drop the "F Bomb" and look back up at the highway again (by the way, it's the Meadowbrook Parkway, for you fellow Long Islanders 
). There's another minute or two in the video after that point.
And yes, Merlin, feel free to go post this video over on the Prius boards.

I'll be working on the follow-up very soon, probably by even tomorrow. I just might be referring to people in this very thread in the video!
