Some interesting mileage results this month:

Also, Toyota has added an option of a noisemaker to the Prius in Japan. Some people have complained that hybrid cars are too quiet and therefore a danger to pedestrians. The sound they chose is interesting. At least it's an "option", but I see this becoming mandatory in sue-happy USA. Judge for yourself. Article here.

Toyota is due to get some company in the SA hybrid market in the form of the Honda CR-Z Sporty Hybrid. This is a gorgeous car! Very exciting. I expect it to sell well.

My car had its' 105000km service today at Helderberg Toyota. They say it needs new front brake discs. I'm dubious about this so I'm getting a second opinion. The Prius is known for being very light on its' brakes.

Just the parts, two front discs and a pair of pads is, R3720.00. If its' gotta be done I'll just save and do it.
