Yep, that’s me driving the worlds fastest Prius.

I drove it 4.5 hours home from Arkansas and managed an astonishing 30.5 mpg! (That’s like 4 mpg better than the TA)

I was blasting Africa in this pic.

AMA?

Is it actually that much faster? How did Hoovie manage to make a Prius only get 30.5 mpg or was it the long lasting issue of driving an under powered car is worse for mileage then bigger engined , more powerful car?

IIRC, Hoovie added NOS.

How many times did Hoovie attempt to buy everyone’s cars?

I’m not families with the car, what makes it unique? other than appearance that is.

I think it’s stock engine wise. Other than the nitrous, which the bottle was closed, so no NOS shenanigans.

However, if you are trying to keep up with an Esprit passing on two lane highways, your mileage suffers.

Nitrous kit. Lowering kit. Good Michelin tires.

Just lots of BBQ, pizza, and sooooo much alcohol.

But can you bring it to the next oppo meet?

Ah I figured. I found I got better mpgs with the 2019 Avalon with 80 more horsepower than the 2018 Pr ius. over my weeks.

I can neither confirm nor deny that it would run 105 mph while passing a line of cars.

Sports Prius!

For real though, that sounds like an aawesome trip. From what I’ve heard, Hoovie is just as chill as he seems he would be.

Handling? Probably.

Highway driving? Lol, no.

question: where is your jalopnik gold card? and can you mail it back to the head office as your jalop cred has been revoked?

I mean, if hooning a F&F painted Prius is unJalop, then y’all are no fun.
