Hi,

I noticed something today: if you run the heat, the Prius' FE drops. I don't think it's because the fan is drawing amperage (although that may be part of it) -- but that it keeps the engine running to heat up the coolant.

So far, I'm averaging 59.4mpg. I'm going to add some zigzag tape, and see how that goes.
