That's not a model, that's an empirical measurement. I'll post more later, gotta run now. :)
My point exactly. I'm not modelling the details of an actual pulse/glide session, I am giving a simple approximation of total MPG based on...
There's no double counting. You can calculate the total MPG your way or you can calculate it my way. Its the same in the end. My way accounts...
No-one is claiming that P&G is bad or doesn't give great results :rockon:
Ok, so those are other forms of electricity draw during the glide. I am accounting for any battery draw during the glide as reducing the glide's...
Many people try and extend the glide by applying power from the battery which lowers equivalent mpg quite a bit more than heavy A/C use. P&G is...
If the glide mpg is infinite, you need to glide twice as far as you pulse to make 60 mpg (assuming a 20 mpg pulse). In practice though, because...
It is more complicated than that. In your example the total MPG is only 33. I explained this here:...
FFH consumes no fuel during glide unless going more than 47 mph, like Prius Gen III above 45. However, unless there is no A/C, no lights, no...
I was just quoting from the CNET article; so you're saying that's not accurate. I had trouble believing it was. As to whether Prius owners post...
Is this true from the review? I'm surprised; seems like a big limitation to me. MS Sync (in Ford Fusion Hybrid) doesn't have this limitation,...
Maybe I should have called it "Mathematics behind natural inclination to overestimate mileage attained during pulse and glide" - that would have...
Guilty of being a rookie! Didn't mean to imply that P&G wasn't beneficial.
In the FFH, there are three types of regen - regen from braking, regen from the ICE when it is providing more power than the car needs, and regen...
You're correct that a good glide will be longer in distance than the pulse, and I wasn't disputing that. I'm also not disputing P&G as a...
Here's an article on the myth of pulse and glide. You may not be getting as great an MPG boost from P&G as you thought.
True, the percent gained per mpg increased goes down. However even if you look at it on a constant percentage basis the law of diminishing...
Nice log-log chart which illustrates diminishing returns of high mpg! It shows that in going from 10 to 35 mpg you save 7+ gallons/100 miles, and...
The GPS peak could be due to an inaccurate location reading. It depends on how often the GPS reading is taken. The more often its taken, the...
I picked 35 mpg as a lower limit to exaggerate my point - you'd have to really try to only get 35 mpg in the FFH (except in winter I suppose). I...
