    I have not charged my PiP for about 2 months. I long for those full charges.

    Everything got reset after that master cylinder sensor replacement.

    Since then, I was getting 54 MPG but the warmer temp boosted up the average to 55 MPG.

    Finally spring has sprung. Going home from my Daughter's house Sunday, the EV miles left showed 8.2 on the HSI. I was able to drive the entire 9.9 miles on EV and had .3 miles of EV left. Mostly 55 mph and some 40 mph roads. And of course lots of hills.

    Yes, I lost most of my settings after the auxiliary battery was replaced. Some mechanics attach a "memory-keeper" to the electrical system to maintain settings while the battery is disconnected. I had to spend some time redoing the settings in the setup menu. Apparently it was too much work for them to reset things back to the way I had it, or use a memory-keeper to prevent it from being lost. Better still, Toyota should stop using 80s technology, and upgrade to flash memory instead of using volatile ram for their electronics.

    Yes, this is very annoying. Some settings are in flash and some aren't.

    I would just like to note to Toyota that a many gig flash drive is $10. I'll pay you 1000x that on my next car...or $10 extra for just 1 MB of flash that stores all volatile settings.

    Looks like everyone is getting very good EV miles.

    Are you driving with AC on? Fan on? Hows the traffic in your area?

    I test my car last weekend, EV miles after charged was 13.x but I drove for only 9.x miles and battery was depleted and ICE kick in. I drove with AC on and power mode. Street stop and go, speed up to 45-50 MPH

    Just got back from a run to the airport and finished the run with a little site seeing. Est EV leaving 14.7 slowly going up. Actual all EV 20.1 with .3 EV remaining, no ice use.
    Looks like things are back to normal from last year. From a winter low of 8.3 EV est. to todays 14.7 and slowly going back up, should be arount 16 est in a week or two.
    Enjoy the summer, What a hoot!!!!:D

    Mines up to 11.6, estimate, best actual 12.9, but I guess I drive to agressive to stretch it out, plus if it's over 75 and humid I use AC.

    i use the a/c, but drive like ol' lady. i think the a/c uses a lot less than heavy pedal.
