Hello, my first thread here! I live in Brazil, and got my '13 a few weeks ago. For the curious and technically interested, I show below a log extract from the climb of one of the steepest that we have in Brazil... You can see that the last 300ft were acomplished in less than 3 minutes! At the summit, MG1 peaked at 291F. It got me scared, but not to the point of stopping, as from some research before the climb (Mg1 & mg2 temperature??? | PriusChat), it was still a bit far from limit, and no permanent damage is expected... The GPS data was all over the place, so I had to clean it a bit. When the line is flat, be aware that data is missing. You can see attached the spreadsheet with original data, if interested. Below, a video of the climb (not mine)
Welcome to PriusChat!! How many km on the vehicle, and has the WS transmission fluid ever been drained and filled?
The MPG was certainly bad Overall, it is not too impressive for US standards, as my unit (not sure if all BR units) has no EGR, and our fuel is E27 (27.5% ethanol)... 58mpg on long slowish trips ~45mph avg 47mpg on 60mph avg trips 140.000km. I don't know if fluid was ever replaced. Thanks for remembering, I will have it checked at next oil change by 28th.
