Friends: 0 |  A rare TV commercial Hi folks, Here in West Oz tonight I just saw what has become a rarity - a Prius TV commercial! It's the first one I've seen this year - it was a re-run of one of the originals. I don't know whether you use this one in US - it shows a Prius pulling in for a refuel and the young girl asks her mother " Mum, what's a service station?".(You call them Gas stations) It emphasises "up to 1000km range" - a bit optimistic in practice! I don't know if this is a sign of improved supplies of the car. Anyway, I hope this is the beginning of Toyota further informing the general public - it's about time! kenmac |

Friends: 0 | 620 miles? I can do that fairly easily, and we have the dumb bladder. Without the bladder, that should be a piece of cake for you. |

Friends: 0 | Well, I'm currently getting an average of 4.6L/100km, which is my best ever (city driving) . This would calculate out to a range of approx. 980kms for the 45 litre tank. At highway speeds (110kph) there is no way it would achieve 1000km range! For 1000km you need to average 4.5L/100km, or in US terms 52.3mpg. It may be possible in controlled conditions and very careful driving, but not in normal "just driving"! kenmac |
