    I dont know why I have not seen this discussion before. I have already seen an MPG analysis on mudflaps. MUDFLAPS!! The owners that have added the EV button have noticed an noticeable increase in gas economy? Please comment and include numbers.

    I don't have numbers, but I do have a couple of pictures of my display of trips with and without EV usage. It makes a pretty significant difference in my first 5 minutes, but it's somewhat offset in the second 5. I haven't tracked it close enough to state that it's overall worth it though.

    For me, it's as much of a geek mod as anything else :) Plus, it's great for conversation amongst other Prius owners.

    The pics are in my phone right now, so I'll try to post the photos later tonight.
