Hi There, I have just purchased a 2007 Prius 1.5 T Spirit model. Can anyone please tell me how I bring up a Distance Till Empty display anywhere. I am usually great at playing with things till I find what I am looking for.....alas not this time and I cant find guidance anywhere in the user manual. Surely there has to be a reading somewhere. Help
DTE (AKA "Distance-to-Empty")=(A - (B / C)) x C= (A x C) - B Assumptions: A= gallons pumped at last fill-up (always fill-up when you fuel Prius) B= miles driven since last fill-up (just reset "A" or "B" odometer to zero at fill-up)* C= conservative fuel economy number in mpg *- MFD automatically resets at fill-up but MFD mileage since fill-up is easier to accidentally reset. ============================= Example of Application of Above Formula (restated immediately below): DTE = (A x C) - B Hypothetical values (for use in this example): A= 8 gallons pumped at last fill-up B= 192 miles driven since last fill-up C= 43mpg Calculation of DTE: DTE= =(8 gallons x 43mpg) -192 miles= 152 miles PS I just noticed that OP is in Ireland. The above formula would work the same way with liters and km so long as mpg number is substituted with km/l (and fill-up amount is in liters and distance traveled is in km). Back of the envelope calc (IOW rough): 43mpg roughly equates to 18km/l.
