We rented a Prius for our recent vacation, and I wondered about this 
myself - but not enough to throw the fobs out the window while going down 
the freeway. ;)

I also thought it was funny (and always have) that the rental agencies 
put both keys (or fobs, in the case of the Prius) on the same keyring and 
you can't take either off the ring.

"If only I had a spare key - oh, I do, and it's locked inside the car 
with the other one". ;)
