    oh fine haha... my lowest at 36km was 3.5L/100km :p you can find my picture somewhere on PriusChat and no it wasn't at 3°C though so good job!


    MAX COLD? Doesn't that run the A/C compressor?? I'd leave it at 18.5°C or just leave it off altogether (unless the windows fog up)

    With the temperature in northern Indiana at ~25F yesterday(windows cracked to prevent fogging and heat set to lowest and no fan), I averaged 92.2 mpg over 12.9 miles on country roads. I ended up with 73.3 mpg over 45.1 miles for the day.

    I have gotten over 100 during the summer months. This is verified by my Scanguage2. Before you ask if it's properly calibrated, there has been more than one occasion where the SG2 and the fuel pump at the station were within .002 gallons.

    I gently pulse up to 30-35 mph and glide(no arrows on the energy screen) down to ~20 mph. I generally try to plan my trips so that I'm not concerned with the time it takes. Even though I live in a rural area, I still have to be considerate of other traffic so these numbers aren't always possible. There is another trip that I take on a regular basis that is 7.0 miles that is from my bank to my home and, on numerous occasions, I have maintained 120+ mpg. In fact, my record is 159 mpg. On one occasion, I force-charged the pack to 8 green bars and was able to maintain 227 mpg on a 6.4 mile trip between my regular gas station and home. By the time I got home, the battery was still at 6 bars. This was a one-time thing because, overall, it really only makes for a high number and essentially takes the same amount of fuel since the car isn't moving while force-charging the battery. I just wanted to see what the car was capable of. And, to answer your question about extra batteries, no, the car is completely stock.

    I actually try to avoid EV except for extending a glide that didn't make it to a stop sign or similar situation. T try to glide with the engine off and no arrows as much as possible.

    Today I could have taken a pictire of the display showing 0,4 l*100 km over 45 km - but it was mostly downhill. :lol:

    The 195/55R16 is wider than the 185/65R15, but their diameters are the same.
