News from all over - Somewhere on Interstate 5

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak admits that he was speeding in his Prius-hybrid. Wozniak said he got a ticket for going 104 mph on Interstate 5 earlier this year. A judge did not buy his excuse that he was used to the kilometer speeds used overseas, and fined him about $700. Wozniak said he was surprised by how smooth the car sailed at high speeds.

He does not recommend those speeds -- his 55 miles per gallon dropped to between 31 and 37 miles per gallon at 104 mph.
