Having a great time in the first 1000 miles with my new Prius, but have some questions.
1. Does GA allow the purchase of an AFV license plate for the Prius so it can be driven in Atlanta's HOV lanes with only the driver in the car? It may be reserved for vehicles that operate on 100% AF instead of the hybrid.
2. Atlanta has a lot of hills. This seems to have a negative effect on the fuel economy. Are the reports of high city mileage coming from folks living in areas where the terrain is flat? My highway mileage is higher. Driving technique really makes a difference and the cruise control helps, too. Any hints in this area would be appreciated.
3. GA offers purchase tax incentives on all AFV's, but again it seems to be reserved for only those that use 100% AF. Does anyone have more information on this? Is the only tax incentive the $2,000 reduction in reported income available from the IRS?
Thanks! I love this car.
