Received a ticket for P&G?

I've never been caught speeding but I've never done P&G over the speed limit and never deliberately gas the car over PSL.

However, I used to allow the car to accelerate down hills above PSL. That was until I went from 45 to 65 mph in a 45 PSL zone and was slowing down but still doing at least 55 mph as I passed a police car. I wasn't charged. After my emotional reaction I realized I couldn't do it any more. Of course, it's frustrating because I can't DWL with following traffic and then the best I can do downhill is regen.

 

When I didn't have a prius, and on highway, saw lots of Prius passing me going 70 plus... I don't think they were using pulse and glide, at least not the glide part...

 

There was no option for "I gave up P&G after the novelty wore off", so I guess the poll wasn't meant for me.
When I first started driving 'my' G3 (company car) I did some of the hypermile stuff for about two months. I never got busted, although I did go PSL+10 or so at times. After two months of getting about 60mpg (tank-to-tank average, hand calculated) I got bored with the whole thing, and now I'm down to 48.something during the last 8500 miles or so.
My current "drive it like you don't own it" (which I don't) style results in a net loss of about 11 MPG.
TIFWIW.
48 is good enough for me. If I were in the market for a new car, and if the G3 had a non-zero pound towing rating, and if they weren't as expensive as they are, I'd consider Prius Ownership, in addition to being a daily Prius Driver.

However (comma!) I still don't think I'd P&G.
JMHO...

 

That sounds like a reasonable assumption, but it's within the realm of possibility that you could be wrong.

I've tried p&g up to the max, then down to the psl. Early, early one morning, in the middle of nowhere, zero traffic....and only a couple of times. This little car coasts forever, and is surprisingly quiet at those speeds.

 

not true. I had seen pulled over Prii, but there are so many of them around here

 

I like to stomp on it from a stoplight, up to the speed limit, and then drive the limit. Then I'll coast or brake gently (light regen) to the next red light. Usually, the cars behind catch up either at the light, or before because they go over the limit. I don't care. I like the acceleration. If someone's going slower than the limit and there's no stop close ahead, I'll pass if it's safe to do so. I suspect that some cops like to give tickets to drivers of expensive cars, because they resent people with more money than they have. So I'm even more careful about speeding in the Tesla than I'd be in the Prius. But I'm always pretty careful.

I'm not sure, but I don't think that P&G would accomplish anything in an electric car. I think the idea is to run the ICE in its most efficient range, and then let it shut off while coasting. An electric motor has such a broad efficiency curve that accelerating gently, maintaining a steady speed, and then coasting to a stop would be more efficient than a continual P&G. Of course, I don't accelerate gently unless I'm behind another car. The Roadster pretty much begs to be given full throttle. People are amazed both by the acceleration and by how quiet it is. Just a sort of quiet sci-fi spaceship whirrrr.
