From my experience, driving at very slow speeds, and mostly stopped in heavy traffic in Manhattan, the Prius' battery state showed only one bar of purple (unfortunately I don't have a ScanGague yet, as I imagine it would show the SOC?) utilizing the battery for every start, and only turning the engine on when I was ready to go a bit faster. I was getting a little bit worried, but figured the Prius knew what it was doing...
