Separate names with a comma.
I vote for option e: Stop as quickly as possible, and then hop out of the car and use the hand crank to manually increase the battery state of...
Back to the OP, I'd just add enjoy the car, get used to the feel, and watch the instantaneous mileage every now and then to begin getting a sense...
Good question! I normally just coast to bleed off speed, and then do final braking as I approach the final stopping point. It may not be...
I wish I were a little taller.
I've had a similar experience as the OP. I got the Prius as my commute car and my wife took the older car. (I'm cheap -- it was my first new car...
Most of the experts on the forum recommend acceleration up close to (and sometimes into) the PWR region. The engine efficiency is still quite...
Great point INATM. Yes, this results in varying speed. Some of the variation is due to classic pulse and glide, but the other variation is...
Macman, I absolutely agree. Different folks have various approaches to where on the HSI to accelerate at. For the record, I accelerate from...
Great stuff! It's always awesome to hit new FE milestones with the car. (Sounds like nice virtual weather there in Tron City. Say hello to Sam...
Yes I normally drive in ECO, though I've read on this forum that results are similar in other modes too since the primary difference between modes...
Great input. We've found this to be true too. My wife drives the Prius as a regular car too and gets over 50mpg average. Even so, my...
Seems like it would be fine on fairly flat terrain. At non-highway speeds, though, you'd be able to do better with pulse & glide. On large...
Great input. This has been my experience too. I'm getting much better total gas mileage, and have had up to 78mpg on my 20 mile commute, which...
Hi all, This thread has been REALLY helpful for maximizing my mpg over the last few weeks. For example, on my 20-mile commute that includes both...
I got a red 2010 about 6 months ago and haven't regretted it a bit. The color is eye-catching and accentuates the lines of the car quite well....
Back to the original question, i commute about 20 miles each way here in Atlanta. About two-thirds surface streets and one-third interstate. I...
Thanks Mike. Interesting on the octane difference. Keep us posted on whether you see a sustained difference. It may be due to other...
I have the same to report as Tumbleweed. On round trips from Atlanta to Florida, with cruise set to 77, I regularly get 46.
Yes, in traffic jams there aren't really any viable options, other than to try and reduce any secondary load on the batteries like air...
Yes, I'm seeing the same thing. Above the 46mph limit that Ken mentions, I find Pulse and Glide a lot less effective. (At these speeds the...
