I am now home and the car is already off the charger. The killawatt shows that it only took .22 kWh to recharge the pack. Sounds like I'm not using the pack very much!

At the suggestion of another Enginer user, I checked the voltage coming out of the dc to dc converter. I powered the car and phev kit on. The voltage started out around 220V and slowly rose to just above 230V. Once it got much higher than that, the voltage started jumping randomly around between 233V and 240V. It wasn't steady in the minute or so that I watched it. I don't think this jumpy voltage is normal, but I am inquiring over on priuschat.
