Separate names with a comma.
The fueleconomy.gov listing is misleading. It shows a picture of a Mazda 3 hatchback (94.6 passenger, 17 cargo), but it lists the specs for the...
You might have gotten some summer blend gas. Also, warmer temps probably help.
Date: 31st March - 14th April 2011 Total Dist: ~4400 mi Tank Dist: 521.5 mi MFD: 60.5 mpg Calc'd: 56.9 mpg Fuel Added: 9.167 gal Avg speed: 30 mph...
I found the report here (warning: PDF). It says the two Prii averaged 39.2% capacity remaining, which is a little less than what is actually used,...
I can't make sense of that battery graph because everything I've read says you can't use 6.5 amp hours of battery in the Prius.
Wampum, "Normal" mode = absence of mode (nothing lit up in terms of ECO/PWR/EV).
I agree with pakitt, casualvic. I use the HSI bar as a measure of how much I'm demanding from the car (sort of like a tach), but I don't let it...
Here's a more recent and informative thread about that.
I'm thinking Mazda 3 hatchback or 2012 Focus hatchback. But let her give the Prius a test drive and see what she thinks.

Paprius's method works fine for me. Trip A = tank, Trip B = whatever trip I want to measure. I usually get gas somewhere in the neighborhood of...

Ben, you're in Gen2 land, and their cars are different. They have bladder issues to contend with. Here's a recent thread about Gen3's tank capacity.
Yes, PCers have reported over 100,000 miles on the original pads.
Prius was at 18,605, a little more than 4,000 away from being on the list. Close, but no cigar.
I do not know. How many feathers can you buy for a £?
Some people have had some success fitting three car seats in the back.
Re: Guess what I found about he Prius ! Dumb question retracted. 70 MPH @ 56 MPG looks pretty good. Maybe I'll try this.
Ah, the anti-Prius. :rolleyes: Yeah, no sense in trying to bridge that gap. Forgive her, she's probably just ornery about her $90 fillups. :p
If you really want to settle it one way or the other, I say consider TCO. The current car is worth $10,500. How much will it be worth in 5-10...
