Finally broke 100MPG in wife's Prius!
 

Hey Guys,

I got to borrow my wife's Hymotion Prius today. I drove to and from a study group I am involved with that's about 12 miles from home.

For the ride back, I remembered to reset the trip odometer and scangauge. I took the 35/45 mph backroads. The Prius display was pegged at 99.9 mpg all the way home.

When I parked, the Scangauge for the trip said 131 mpg! I went inside and got my camera. The engine must have come on while the car was parked and I was getting the camera, because it then read 130mpg when I actually got the photo.

Pretty excited that I finally got a real recorded 100MPG+ trip down.

Interestingly, my Electro-Metro, with electric use converted to eMPG, it usually clocks in at 130 MPG!

Yeah, i also got 130MPG today. *wink* *wink*

ben congrads!!!!

Great job!


Just have to ask, was that all down hill? What was the first half of the drive like?

Rolling hills - up and down. There is one big hill in my area that there's now way you can get up without using then engine.

I feel like I'm just finally starting to get to know this car now.

Very impressive!

I have difficulty getting to 130 mpg with the Insight on occasion!

Jim.

Nice job Ben. There is more where that came from!

geesh that is amazing.

good job!

That is just 130mpg on gasoline, not counting the electricity from the plug in kit that is installed, right?

Yeah, the SG (or OEM display) doesn't calculate battery energy used.
