Hi,
I have a Prius on order but have discovered that a couple of the rental companies have managed to secure a few Priuses. I am trying to secure one for a 2500 mile trip next month that should be a terrific test drive. The majority (90%)of the trip will be Interstate highway driving so my question is ...will it be better to use cruise control, even in hilly areas? I am guessing that 55 mph would be the sweet spot for the fuel efficiency though 60-65 will probably be more realistic to go with the flow of traffic. Perusing through the site I have found the tire pressures, ty, and would also like the type/brand of oil it requires even though I suspect it won't be required. Any other hints/ideas to get the most out of the test drive would be appreciated. Thanks again
