New 2019 Prius XLE AWD-e - No Way to Enter fuel cost???

congrats and welcome!

i don't have a gen 4, so, no idea, sorry. i do notice that your info says you have a prime?

all the best!

 

Toyota makes it difficult for some reason. I have a 2017 and the fuel price can only be entered immediately after refueling. It is described in the manual on page 95 under "After Refueling"

It's easiest as you start it up after a fill. It asks if you want to record the fuel price about 3 seconds after starting up - you have to hit the OK button immediately - it fades away after maybe 10 seconds, figuring that you weren't interested.

Press this button
immediately after you see this:

 

I wouldn't bother with this. Why build a spreadsheet in a car? If it's like third gen, it'll be exaggerating the mpg by about 7.5%, so why work with that? Also, what happens if the 12 volt battery is momentarily disconnected; will all the info be gone?

I would suggest to start a spreadsheet, on a desktop or laptop computer, based on gas receipts and the odometer readings.

 

Or use Fuelly - quite a few PriusChat members do. Only possible downside - I've got paper records of every fill since ~1974, spreadsheets since ~1990 - will Fuelly still be around (still free) in 45 years. I'll keep my spreadsheet.

 

Yeah belts-and-braces. I have a pinned link to Fuelly, in my spreadsheet. I do the spreadsheet first, then over to Fuelly.

I started the spreadsheet at least a year before I joined fuelly. I found I was able to import my spreadsheet, enter it all in one go. It took a little reformatting (on a copy), not too hard.
