Prius & Hypermiler Hats

Few cars have been teased as long or as lovingly as the Prius. A 2012 post on The Truth About Cars called its owners smug drivers in formation below the speed limit in the fast lane, and a forum thread on AnandTech put the verdict in one sentence: the Prius is the ultimate white bread car. PriusChat members have been asking where to get a Prius baseball cap for years, and most never found one. Hypermilers are the true believers. In 2008 the New Oxford American Dictionary voted "hypermiling" its best new word of the year, and the technique is a real sport of coasting to stops and gliding on momentum. In September 2024 a hypermiler drove a Prius LE from LA City Hall to NYC City Hall, 3,211.7 miles, and set a Guinness record of 93.158 MPG combined, according to Toyota's release. The current-generation Prius is rated at up to an EPA-estimated 57 MPG combined. These hats let the owner lean into it. The badges are PRIUS and HYPERMILER. The sentences are the brag: MPG > MPH, PRIUS IN THE LEFT LANE as a one-line villain flag, 52 MPG in case you were wondering, six gas stations passed without stopping, and always coasting, never arriving. PRIUS IN THE LEFT LANE and the 52 MPG line each get a second colorway. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat.
