The Prius battery regenerates itself with your braking, but having a fully charged battery and gas milage are not always connected. If your are driving fast, accelerating quickly, especially from a dead stop........your gas milage drops. And if you drive that way all the time your gas milage will be low. But, if you can alter your driving a bit your milage will be much better. Usually when I am driving I am using a fairly even mix of gas and battery. When my battery is nearly all gone I can hear my gas engine flip over, usually after sitting in heavy traffic on the freeway at a dead stop.
My car is pretty much unadorned, I guess. I do have a yellow ribbon tied to my radio antenna, though. And a Red Cross blood donor bumper sticker. Not too exciting.
Since I don't drive, I don't have a car to decorate... But I do have a HRC sticker, an Equality bear, a rainbow face sun catcher, a small rainbow flag, and a small American flag

Hey Storm!
Of course you may borrow the question!

Caly, The Knoxville Zoo is on my list of things to go see soon. Probably next month.
Amen, sister.

Its a great zoo though not the biggest I have been too. I of course love the Giraffes so you have to see them *grin
Right now they are building a new home for their Red Pandas which I bet will be great.
