MPG up!

Any idea how much this cost? ..... Will it fit US Prius models?
It is very interesting!! ..... 9% ???

 

Yea right! The way things are made and false advertising claims, expect maybe 1% gain if even that. It all boils down to how you drive the car.

 

Appears to be just grill blocking. I'll wait for the JC Whitney version.

 

It appears to be a partial, grill block with LEDs. Now I have no problem with active vanes that close off the grill inlet until the coolant reaches hybrid threshold temperatures. They should open only enough to prevent the coolant fans from running.

Some of us have done grill blocking tests:

This configuration gives a 4% mileage improvement in highway drag at 70 mph and 57F. Decrease the temperature and increase the speed and the improvement increases.

Hey Bob, you should draw some teeth on that and give it a mean look.

 

That's not a handle hold, that's a fine tuning port.
