Our 2005 Prius kept a running tally of MPG over the course of a tank of gas. On our 2012 Plug-In, there's a wealth of data, but I don't find a tank-to-date sort of measurement of mileage. (Instead, I find instantaneous, minute-by minute bar graph, and end of trip report.) Is there a tank-to-date measurement I'm missing? Thanks
On my 2010 I use the Trip A for my tank-to-tank information. So the average mpg for the current trip is my tank-to-date information. Toyota did away witht he tank-to-date feature with the Gen III in 2010 from what I understand.
I too use "Trip A" for the current tank ( mpg shows as "cons" for consumption) and "Trip B" for lifetime, at least until for some reason the battery gets disconnected and the info is lost. Cycle through the trip screens to find the info along with estimated miles remaining in the tank. Also, my daughter reports that on her 2011 Prius "Trip B" automatically reset to zero at 10K miles. So lifetime may be something one will have to track independently by adding up gas receipts.
I pretty much use the same methods... Trip A is used to record miles I drive for work (since I get to write that off on my taxes), and Trip B is used to track my consumption for the tank (but of course you have to remember to reset it after every fill-up).
For me, I use: Trip A for random/daily/whenever I feel like resetting Trip B for tank For the EV Driving Ratio screen, I use (1) for tank ratio and (2) is lifetime (although because I recently disconnected the battery, that was reset.. but I have it all on spreadsheet anyway)
I use Trip A for current tank, Trip B for short trips I want to track; and Fuelly for my lifetime usage...
I use Trip A and EV 1 for each driving segment, resetting them each time. I use Trip B and EV 2 for Tank results, resetting after each fill-up. I take a photo of the displays before and after each driving segment and copy the data into Excel. I started documenting the info after getting the PIP March 14. Now I can't stop. HELP ME !!!
The trip odometer doesn't display all the mpg info with all of the display modes. Press the steering wheel Display button to display the Hybrid System Indicator "thermometer" display, then press the Trip button to show the desired Trip odometer.
