Sorry for the stupid question....

BongoSTL · 05-11-2007, 01:18 AM

Hey all---sorry for this question... I"m sure it's in 1000s of posts... but i just spend about 30 min searching, and couldn't find this....

Anyhow, there is a lot of talk about P&G, stealth, etc....

But for the life of me, I can't find a piece that gives a 'here is how to drive your prius for best mpg..."

I think i've got the idea behind P&G down, and am doing well... but I don't understand when to use stealth, and what I want to try to do when accelerating, or when at highway speeds, etc....

So if anyone can point me in the direction of a general overview, that would be fantastic... (I looked through the stickies here, and they don't seem to have this....)

Thanks!
D

Um, Bongo, you didn't look very hard... Read the Third Sticky in the Fuel Economy forum...
