@Daox - I thought the idea was to use the electric mostly where it is beneficial to do so, low speeds round town and up and down our street being examples ? I don't think (I could be wrong) that floored the Prius looks for the best BSFC point, it assumes you need to go asap. Or at least this one does.

@Both - regen happens on slowing too, its like being in a high gear instead of neutral coasting. You can see the regen part of the eco meter on slowing, it really fills with the braking style regen.

It needs more practice. Motorway (highway / freeway) trips are looking like the trickiest thing to manage.
