Sometimes I "just drive it", and sometimes I like to drive it like a mileage game. This is especially fun on my commute, since I know the route so well and can compare one "game" to the rest. This is how I drive to maximize mileage. None of this is new to this group, but is my summary and my opinion of what works: Basic principles: 1. Stay off the brakes as much as possible. This is intuitive, and, as Lee explained recently (#10511) although regenerated energy is better than none at all, it can be no better than 50% of the original power. 2. When the ICE (internal combustion engine) runs, run it at high rpm. This is ANTI-intuitive! I think we're conditioned to believe that "gentle" acceleration and better mileage go hand-in-hand. Not so when the ICE is on! In the Prius, gentle acceleration is only good when the ICE is off. The Abe paper [Ref. 1] describes higher thermal efficiency at higher engine output power. The driver's way to access higher output power is to "accelerate briskly",... See less

1. Push the Power button to turn on the car. 2. Press the Trip/ODO button until the Trip/ODO display reads ODO (not Trip A or Trip B). 3. Push the Power button to turn off the car. 4. Step on the Brake pedal and push the Power button. 5. Within 6 seconds, press and hold the Trip/ODO button for at least 10 seconds. 6. Keep pressing the Trip/OD button, step on the Brake pedal and shift the gear selector to R. 7. Press the P button to shift back to Park. 8. Release the Trip/ODO button. 9. Under the Odometer, instead of the milage, "b on" should be displayed. 10. Press the Trip/ODO button to change the display to "b off". 11. Press the Power button to turn off the car. Now turn the car back on, shift into Reverse, no annoying beeping! See less

Okay, so I'm new here and I just recently found out that besides being able to drive in the carpool lane with the HOV stickers (California), you can also park in certain cities for free on parking meters (cities in many states have this law in effect)! That's great. Are there any other perks like these that I should know about? See less

The group is to share information among owners and others interested in the Toyota Prius. This is the first mass-produced hybrid gasoline-electric vehicle in the world, with 100,000s having been produced world-wide since 1997. A new, improved generation of Prius, the 2004 model, became available in the USA in October 2003. By April 2006, the incoming Prius was only one of two vehicles (with the Lexus GS300 series) to earn all three Consumer Reports top scores for Reliability, owner Satisfaction, and Depreciation (p. 76). If you are interested in the 2004 and subsequent model year Prius, you can also join the Prius-2G group at http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Prius-2G/ IF YOU ARE NEW to the group, I suggest you explore the "Files" and "Links" pages--especially the "FAQs" folder in "Links". Also, all new members are initially on 'moderation.' IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT A PARTICULAR PRIUS, please mention the model year, since the 2004 and more recent models are almost a completely...

Best fuel economy Toyota Prius Source: EPA According to EPA estimates, the Toyota Prius is the most fuel-efficient vehicle sold in the U.S. The Prius also happens to be a comfortable and practical family car. You probably won't get the EPA-rated mileage of 60 in the city and 51 on the highway, but you probably wouldn't get the EPA-rated mileage in any other vehicle, either. (And, no, those EPA mileage ratings are not backwards.) With production ... [more] See less

The purpose of this User-Guide evolved from the need to answer common operation questions and to help give new owners something to start with, without being too overwhelming. So a group of Prius owners compiled this document to share what they've learned with others.
