Slow-Speed down hill coasting wise this car is very very similar to the 2006. In the flats, I think it coasts a little better than the 2006, but I guess that is kinda subjective....

what is the weight diffgerential between a 2g and 3g prius?
Added curb weight should improve coast down speeds of the 3g prius assuming all other variables are the same.
There is a downhill grade of the interstate near my house and if i drive my mustang to 62 mph and allow myself to coast down until the next offramp, I will see 58mph.
This same distance, with a full tank of gas and about 200lbs in the trunk, will coast down and see 61mph the at the end point.
