Thanks Bruce. I should have mentioned that I had gone to the other forums previously but I did not read anything about a back cushion interfering with the airbags.
Mark: I am a little wider than most and about 6'. The wings of the "Leather Appointed" back seat in the 2017 Premier edition are a little more firmer and pronounced compared to the Prius cloth seats I drive. The addition of the folded comforter provided about a 1/2" forward positioning; just enough to do the trick. I was surprised to see the lower than average energy consumption at interstate speeds. Usually, the lower the speed, the less energy consumed. The Bolt seems to have a maximum in the 55 to 60 MPH range.
