... I've been working on compiling a fuel economy tips document for the Prius, but until I get that together, here's the short answer to your question. Gliding...
... I don't know of anyone who regularly uses neutral to improve fuel efficiency. If someone here does I'd be interested to hear their rationalle. I'm one...
Has anybody compiled a list of really good Prius mechanics? Not the usual dealer mechanic who graduated from Toyota University. I need one in southern Arizona....
My closest to you would be Eric Foster and Andy Chou at Claremont CA Toyota, about 30 mi E of Los Angeles. Hope that somebody else can recommend closer. DAS...

... a CEL until it's been on for over a week, and you'll likely be able to drive many miles (if indeed the diagnosis is even near the mark). The hard part was...
