FYI, there is some suspicion that the exhaust heat recovery on the Prius III that the new heat recovery system isn't quite as good as the Prius II's coolant thermos.

Btw not to correct you but I'm talking about heating a liquid to run a pump via convection NOT to heat up the engine coolant. So it will always be running.
