I was just wondering what should be the optimum speed for driving on the freeway to get the best gas mileage... I was running about 47-50 cruising at 64-65 mph........ Also any tips to get the best city mileage... ?
Look up pulse and glide some other sites with info http://www.priusonline.com/index.php http://www.greenhybrid.com/ http://www.hybridcars.com/
On the freeway, slower is better. Following chart is derived from a thread below... http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=1...10092&st=26 Ken@Japan
