this pic shoes speed vs. tempreratur vs. FE and these numbers are quite good matching the real world.


i donīt know the metro, but if you after FE, a hybrid ist a good choice. however, a new car never saves money.
If I read this graph correctly, you are saying your Prius gets about 4.0L/100km on a really warm summer day at roughly 60mph, yes? That seems high... about 57mpg at 60mph.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
