How could you be in worse trouble turning the ignition off than you would going 90 mph? That doesn’t make sense. No gasoline, voila’.

The Prius is a hybrid....turn the engine off and you still have battery power to move th car.

Second, since everything is computer-controlled in these vehicles (ignition, shifter, accelerator, etc) it is unknown how many failures take place when the acceleration occurs.

Thanks. What I really love about cars is their color — and if they go fast.
