Do you have a link to back that up? The link I provided earlier was for a 2010 Prius from this article and it rates the Prius at 6.8.

If it does indeed have a 50 - 70 acceleration time of 4.1 seconds, that is impressive.

I wonder what year You Need a Thneed's Dad's Prius is. I think if he was using a "power boost" feature he would have mentioned it.
