That is a shocker. I have a 2 mile (750 ft) hill, and I will certainly try that next time out. Aside: First fillup; 723 miles; 8.6 gals so 2 gals...
But will a dealer disable the seat belt reminder? My experience is that they are unwilling to do that. Re fuel economy: 2005 Prius: 101,000 miles...
The dealer in Seattle I purchased one disabled that beeping for me with no problem before shipping the car to me in Colo.
Congrats. I was in the same boat (Colorado), but got a decent deal on getting one trucked from Seattle. Very happy with how it all has worked out....
Yes, I agree... so bottom line is that a half-fillup is unlikely to make economic sense even if one wants that small savings, since a $40 gas cost...
fortywok: I don't believe your comment about EV mode being better as regards the extra weight. Extra weight means the EV runs out sooner since it...
Yes, topping off seems the best way of getting an MPG number that takes everything into account. If I recall, on my 2005 Prius, the number of...
Being a scientist I appreciate the effort to save weight. Yet one feature of the PiP is that one will spend less time at gas stations. Filling up...
And here too in Colo. I am told that any Toyota dealer can service my new PiP, even tho I bought it out-of-state and had it trucked here. This is...
Yes, of course that makes perfect sense for the Range indicator.
El Dobro: Yes, it was an out-state purchase. Plug-in not available in Colo so I had it trucked from a dealer in Seattle and am happy with how it...
Agreed that the fillup is the best way to calibrate. I just filled the car up for the first time (it came with only 2 gals because of truck...
As always, very helpful... thanks Dr. I. The "even if stopped" comment is helpful since that seemed mysterious. Maybe I can try to not charge...
Thanks, guys, for the response..... Questions seem endless on the car: I start by going down a 2-mile hill. Weather is cool. At some point near...
Question: Rebound wrote: In HV mode, the car uses a separate set of battery cells and operates just as a normal Prius does Does this mean...
I just consummated (meaning my car is here, licensed, and has 150 miles on it now) a deal with Seattle of Toyota to get one, since Colorado...
cooljw: Had the car (2013) out tonight and all the lights of other cars or house lights appeared correct through the windshield. Good.
Thanks for that 80% comment. I was aware that that applied to the classic Prius situation -- and was hoping it would apply here. I watched the...
CoolJW: But how will I know if I am regenerating when I go down the hill? Right now I charge it to full. It says, say 13.2 miles. When I go down...
Another question: Suppose one is going down a hill in neutral. Is that counted in the %age of EV vs HV? If so, which?
