Ah hah! I can fix that!

. . . All you need to do is wrap the phrase in the beginning and ending codes. The ending code (or whatever it is really called) is always "[/quote]", while the beginning code identifies the specific posting.

Of course there are other ways of doing this, but to "quote" this phrase:

Hitting the "quote" button appears to duplicate the entire post I'm replying to. I tried highlighting selections, but that doesn't seem to do it. I have some vision problems and can look right at stuff and not see it - LOL.

. . . just encase it in the quote= . . . and /quote phrasing like this (I've changed out "quote" for "quite" so you could see behind the curtain):

[quite=Fuzzy;618330] Hitting the "quote" button appears to duplicate the entire post I'm replying to. I tried highlighting selections, but that doesn't seem to do it. I have some vision problems and can look right at stuff and not see it - LOL.[/quite]”

When I replace quite with quote, I’ve included only the desired portion of your post in my reply:

Hope this helps!

Over the last just under 10K miles, my pump average is 45, MFD average is 48.5. This is from October to May. Hopefully it will improve a bit over the summer, though I noticed that A/C usage eats-up about 3-5 MPG so it might not change the average due to the hit from A/C usage (and I seem to need to use A/C when temps are over 80 F and I can't open the windows).

I have almost never had an MFD lower than the pump reading.

'02 with 126K miles...

Aha... I think I got it, a priori (trying it now to see if I got it right). And by the way, those codes are called html tags. Thanks. And we caught another rat in a trap under our hood last night (I posted to the "Rats attack our Prius" thread).
