Hi All In case anyone is interested, I have worked out some figures for mpg on my recent rip to Spain & Portugal: We filled up the day before leaving and drove...

Jerry, Sounds like a great trip. What do mean by "weighted and averaged"? I wouldn't worry about your indiated consumption being "a little optimistic" compared...
Hi Paul ... Suppose you have filled the tank five times. The calculated mpg for the total mileage is easily calculated, as total mileage divided by total fuel ...
Thanks Jerry, Makes perfect sense. I was for forgetting that the NHW20 resets at each fill-up. I just wish there was more than one consumption monitor on the...
Has anyone had the letter yet for the latest recall (or indeed any recall) ? My dealer says he has not heard about any recalls for the Prius, whilst I have...
Hi Jerry, interesting reading. We have just come back froma 7010km (!) trip from Munich to the heal of Italy, boat to Greece then upto Thesalonika and on to...
Hi Victor ... Well, you just had to go one better, didn't you :-) That is some journey! I would love to do the same, but since giving up work, I find I don't...
Hi Victor ... For the NHW20, there have been two recalls so far here in the UK. One for brake light switch replacement, a year or so ago, and one for an ecu ...
Hi Paul ... Ah yes, and I was forgetting that the Classic meter doesn't reset. Actually I have read that the 2006 NHW20 consumption meter doesn't automatically...
Now there's an idea, a total (life to date) consumption meter. Impossible to reset, it just sits there ticking away, held in memory when the battery is...
... Actually ... automatically ... owners confirm ... Insight ... total. ... I have the 2006 European model (since early May 2006) and I can confirm that the...
Hi John ... Hey, that sounds fun! I would come, but I'm busy this weekend ;-) A few tips for "extreme" fuel economy: - don't exceed 42mph - watch (or even...
Hi Jerry, ... come to ... I can only support this, the Prius will not be in Stage 4 "Full Hybrid Operation" as long as the driver dosen't stop and wait for the...

Hi John ... I think the information I gave is correct: - on mine (2003/4 model), both reset - on 2006 US models the consumption figure does not reset ...and...
Hi Joao ... Once the battery is full regeneration (virtually) stops. Therefore the energy you expended going up a long hill is partly wasted on the way down. ...
Full charge-discharge cycles limit life to only a few hundred cycles. The controlled partial charge-discharge cycles used on the Prius allow many thousands of...
Hi Jon ... Yes. The EV button does not allow full charge or discharge, but it does permit discharge to 2 bars, or less than 45%SOC. I am working on the theory,...
HI Paul ... It has been known for a long time that the NHW20 Prius goes through a number of stages as it warms up from a cold start. The main point is that it...
Hi Jerry, ... for a ... . . . ... certainly ... I've seen this occasionally with my NHW11, 03 Prius. I try to park so I can 'drive off' when I leave. But I had...
