prius tetris

When driving a Prius, you can view a bar-graph of your fuel consumption over the past 30 minutes. A "prius tetris" is when you go five consecutive minutes (or more) at 99.9 miles per gallon. This shows on your bar-graph as a long, straight bar, similar to the four-high bars in Tetris.

No wonder you don't need any gas! You're always getting a prius tetris!

Prius pocket

A neighborhood where you can count three or more Priuses (Prii?) in consecutive driveways or parked out front if it's a really urban Prius pocket.

Honda Insights and Ford Escape Hybrids can be substituted for Priuses to meet the minimum threshold of three.

We accidentally drove through a Prius pocket, but the green zombies were all inside their solar salons and did not attack our 8 cylinder lifted pickup truck.

Prius Envy

Noun, plural -vies, verb, -vied, -vy·ing.
–noun

a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another person's ownership of a hybrid vehicle; especially those who bought early and scored the coveted limited edition carpool lane stickers.

Particularly strong among some SUV owners, such as those who used subprime lending for a second mortage to buy a $50,000 vehicle that they can no longer afford.

I'm trying to sell my Expedition before gas goes up to five bucks a gallon; I've got a serious case of prius envy.
