After seeing footage of thousands of vehicles backed up for miles on Texas highways, wasting more thousands of gallons of gas idling in fruitless traffic, I'm glad for my Prius for yet another reason...they never will have that idling problem if a disaster strikes here and we need to get out.

Well, depends on how far you deplete your battery. Once you get to 2 bars, you have a partial idle problem.

Those with NAVs should try selecting not to use highways.
