Prius

Filed under: Computers, Tech & Science,Family Updates — Daryl @ 8:35 pm

Devon got a 2007 Toyota Prius for an early graduation present. Pretty cool car; very high-tech. It is a hybrid, with both a gas engine and an electric motor. The combination gives almost double the gas mileage of an equivalent pure-gasoline engine car: 60 MPG city according to the EPA. It has other futuristic features, such as a key that just has to be in your possession to open the doors or start the engine.

OK, for you girls: It’s a very pretty medium blue.

  2. An early congrats to Devon! My, how time does fly. Will he be coming back to Mesa or does he have other plans?

  3. Devon plans to take a year off, but then definitely go back to graduate school in 2008. He’s not sure where he will live in between; probably wherever he finds a job.

  7. I’m thinking that would fit nicely on the back of my truck where the motorcycle is. And, it gets about the same mileage as the motorcycle.
