It was a Prius Three, not a Two/Eco.
The first time I tested was at the media event in Southern California at ideal temps, back in November. I was blown away by the numbers and thought they wouldn't hold up here in the Jersey cold.
Alas, I didn't get to test in seriously cold weather - we hit single digits this weekend.
I might put more effort into topping up the battery before taking the run with the next hybrid. Knock wood, I'll get to test the Malibu Hybrid at some point this year.

The engine may have kicked in more easily at the end because you started with 5 bars on the battery, but finished with 3.
Impressive car, nevertheless!
