Last week, I watched my Prius C display reaching 999 Hour and 59 Minutes and waited for 1,000 Hours but all week I drove 345 miles and it still shows 999 Hours and 59 Minutes! What gives? Thanks! Mikey the Mailman
You should be aware that tines spent sitting at stop lights, slowing for pedestrians etc., are averaged into that figure. Unless one is on the highway, the MPH figure will always surprise on the low end. Does your Prius not have the same sort of display? If it does, check out your own figure.
Oops, sorry. I was not seriously criticizing the OP. After all , I posted this result so I am in a glass house here, so to speak: "Here is Team Virginia's first attempt at obtaining high speed, high mileage result in a Gen 3 hatchback: We managed 65 mpg at a speed of 65 mph for a distance of just over 100 miles. View attachment 68360 The goal is to set a better benchmark by exceeding either the 65 mpg or the 65 mph over a 100-mile stretch of driving a regular hatchback while still maintaining the other criterion: (e.g. 70 mpg at 65 mph, or 65 mpg at 70 mph...you get the idea.) But you have to drive safe and legally, and then post the HSI display and tell the rest of us how you managed to do that! (We had 40 psi tires, 7,000 ft. altitude, tailwinds, cooperative trucks, and non-reformulated and non-ethanol gas.)"
LOL! My daily commute is 21 mile each way driving mostly 55-60mph. My first long distance road trip was last November 2013 to New Mexico driving mostly 60, 65 mph Then last March I drove to Seattle and back resulting poor mpg due to rain and against the wind :-( Then a day after coming back from Seattle, I drove to Grand Canyon and again New Mexico, this was mostly 70-75 mph driving. Oh yeah, upcoming ANOTHER longer trip in 4 weeks (End of October/early November for 2 1/2 weeks) I'll be driving to Colorado and Texas!!! ;-)
Correct and as of today it's 1,512 miles passed since 999 hours and 59 minutes and it still shows that on Trip B (Trip B is for since I purchased at 6 miles, Trip A is for every gas tank.)
