Sounds like a great trip. Fuel price is less important with a Prius ;)
Interesting. I'm retired so I don't deal with traffic. I find that Garmin is really good for specifying complex routes for our many vacation trips.
I wouldn't disagree however trips through the mountains can be entertaining.
Better solution. [IMG]
This would pretty much have to be done with all EV. 537 mi at 999 mpg is 1.86 gallons. 1.86 gallons times 33.7 kWh/gal is 63.7 kWh. A full...
Interesting... If all your trips are short there's only one thing to learn. Turn on ECO mode an don't press the accelerator to hard. No gas used...
And your driving range per trip!!
The 80% is about the HSI display not anything to do with efficiency. The "experiment" was to see if the friction brakes came on which they didn't....
And I did check. Going downhill at 50 mph, the regen area of the HSI 80% full, there was no friction braking but lots of nice regen.
Its a very interesting survey. I found the suggested apps interesting but not of great usefulness in deciding what plug-in vehicle to purchase....

My PiP charges at a fairly constant rate for 2 hours then at about 1/2 rate for a few minutes. Here is a chart showing consumption rate in watts....
Good Point! I typically average 43 mpg from Sacramento Valley floor to Echo Summit. Of course that's starting with a full charge and using it...
Interesting point. With the right downhill one could probably charge the battery in well less than an hour. (I have no where there is such a hill...
No, the purpose of stacking is to use regeneration to charge the battery. After you have done as much downhill as is available for regen you...
I don't believe there is much if any friction breaking as long as the HSI is in the right 75% of the regen area. I'll admit I haven't watched the...
Why have so many different makes of cars? Why have so many different models for each make? Its a self adjusting system. Ask the the Pontiac and...
Its really a function of your usage of the car. In my case, being retired, most of my trips are local and short. Over the past 15 months I had...
I think I have all that stuff in my Fall-Out shelter, I'll go check.
