A123 Prius Plugin

It got almost 6000mi - most of the time I leave it sitting in the garage and drive/ride something else. I learned early on the trip computer needs to be zero'ed whenever you want accurate data from it, but my gas mileage has always been mileage/gallons at the pump - what the deale calls tehold fashioned way. The number on the trip computer right now is 15.7mpg.

The trip computer is amazingly accurate, but only if you zero it and let it stabilize whenever you want a good number.

What caused you to sell yours?

I didn't sell it. It was a lease.

Understand now, thanks.

Brian - Houston is FLAT! The tallest thing here is the interstate overpass built to go over the streets they cross. Yes, and prob the landfill is the tallest. We have no hills or grades to contend with. Cruise has gotten me the best mileage in the trucks I've owned and helped here, but only marginally, less than 1mpg.

I'm finishing a big offshore study and will have a break. The car is going back to the dealer and we're going to get this fixed. I have been emailing the owner of the dealership and he assures me he wants me to be happy with my car. Then I'm going car shopping.

Gas prices are likely to get worse before they get better - unless we have a world economic recession that puts the hurt on demand. With demand soaring, there is no telling where prices will wind up.
