A startup near Los Angeles, California, called Energy Control Systems Engineering has created a system for tricking a Toyota Prius into delivered up to 180 miles per gallon in the city, and up to 100 miles per gallon on the freeway. The system involves extra batteries, which must be charged by the user, and a hack that tricks the Prius into thinking its batteries always have a full charge. The company plans to sell the hack via a company called Clean-Tech for about $12,000.

Comments:

I modded a Prius to get 360 mpg while it sits in the driveway. I only want $18,000 for it. I can sell you just the EPA sticker, a work of art itself, for just $19.95 or 3 EZ monthly payments of $9.95. Be the first on your block. Please?
