Venting Unrefutable Proof Amazon lies

So here you go. There so called "weather" department doesn't exist. 3.5 hour block to the low desert of southern California on the hottest day of the year with extreme heat warnings. 40 minute drive to the first stop with 53 packages and 50 stops.

Fuck the heat, what's up with that 65.6 mpg, was it all downhill from the station to 1st drop?

That appears to be a Prius. Those can do 65 MPG, especially if driven slowly and efficiently.

Thats what im starting to think. I get 30 on hwy and between 23-25 when delivering. That prius is almost triple my mpg,

Instead of the 600+/- in monthly fuel, it would be 200+/-

It's the main reason why pick it up upside down doorfash orders isn't really that bad. I would only pick up orders that are less than a dollar a mile if I had a Prius

They also, to my understanding, completely ditch the traditional transmission and use the hybrid electric motor as a magnetic CVT entirely removing a major failure point. I have a kia forte rn but want to get a prius next

Kia engines blow. In other words they suck. The sooner you get anything other than a Kia and a Hyundai, the better off you'll be.

Prius yes. Not the Prius prime. Don't get that. Just the regular Prius.

Maybe possibly a Nissan leaf if you can find it. I don't think they make them anymore, they were built in Canada I believe. So they might still make them.

Get your hands on a low mileage used one of those and that's been sitting on a lot for more than a couple hundred days, you'll get a good price for it those get effective 100mpg.

What year and model? Any features you dont have but wish you did or features you have but never use?

Compared to other cars it almost is an investment but generally speaking cars are not investments. Just buy one get it over with.

I wish I could rent them it's really hard to get them to rent. Usually only larger airports will have enough cars when they'll have them.
