Sorry to hear about your car.

I only have experience with the kit for a few weeks, and so far I get about 42 without the kit and 62 mpg with. Yesterday I just got red triangle error driving 55 mph, and the Toyota hybrid system shutdown or went into some kind of safe mode. The Prius is not a great car when the NiMH pack shuts off and leaves the gas engine to fend for itself. It revs at 3500 RPM just to go 35mph. I got it reset with my scangauge and it's OK now. Other than that problem, which I admit I was not really prepared for, it's a good system.
