Hello, I've had my Prius now for about three weeks, and was wondering if there's an "ideal" driving style for good mileage. Is it better to accelerate slowly...
Hi Jan, Smooooth! is the key ingredient to develop in your Prius driving style. While this beneficial for driving in any car it is perhaps more rewarding in a...
Hi Clive ... I agree. Something I often notice is that almost all drivers unconsciously accelerate. They come out of a corner and drive along the straight bit...
Hello, You guessed right - I live in Belgium. The biggest part of where I have to go is rather flat, with the obvious ups and downs of bridges/tunnels/... The...
Hi Jan, Nice to know I get something right occasionally and greetings from the UK. Flat is good terrain for Prius efficiency and minor adjustments for modest ...
Hi clive, Yes - 50kph is our residential speed, and I have noticed that I get out of the car generally more relaxed than I used to with the previous leasing...
Hi Jan, I would advise forgetting about the electric mode (EV switch) altogether in the beginning. The management of this capability is dealt with by the Prius...
Hey folks, Does anyone know how to override the partial radio lockout on the JBL radio on a 2008 Prius (European "Sol" version)? It's rather annoying that half...

Hello, I was wondering - what do people use with their Prius? Here in Belgium we have 95+ and 98+ unleaded fuel - the latter being quite a bit more expensive....
... The Prius should run plenty fine on 95 octane stuff. In the UK 98+ octane fuel is available but doesn't do much for mileage. It does contain more...
Hi Jan ... Myself I just use a damp tissue. I am sure a glasses-cleaning cloth would be better. A damp microfibre cloth is better still. Also if you remember...
Hi Jan ... In the first place, the Prius is designed to run just fine on 95 octane and theoretically will gain no benefit at all from a higher octane rating...
Very good and sound advice from Jerry. You might do well spending some time trying different gasoline brands and types over the first tanks to figure it out. ...
