Max MPG Driving Techniques Youtube Video

[RadioMan]

Hi Guys- (and gals!)

I finally decided to make a video which teaches almost all the Prius high-mileage driving techniques. Normally, new owners have to fish around and put this info together piece-by-piece from the forum and other postings. I hope this helps!

I enjoyed that video. Thanks.

Outstanding presentation. I self-taught a lot of this while driving my 2003 Prius from Oct 2002 to Dec 2009. The IV is a quantum leap in both creature comforts and MPG. Thanks for teaching me a different set of braking techniques.

Thanks, you did a really outstanding job. I figured most of those techniques out for myself, but I'm going to work at it a bit more. My commute is 85 miles a day roundtrip, mostly on a busy freeway. I set my cruise control for 55 MPH for most of it, but my mileage isn't hitting 60 MPG, it's more like 50 to 54.

I live in Alameda, CA, a small island community with a 25 MPH maximum speed limit that is enforced. Before my commute, I drive a few miles in town to drop the kids off, almost exclusively using the battery.

Maybe I'll put some more air in the tires; they're currently inflated to 33/35 PSI, which is the spec.

Great video. I appreciate the work you put into it. This is great for new prius owners.

Thanks Bob,

I am in second week of Prius ownership, and your video makes more sense than all the reading I have been doing.

Wave hello if you see a Red Prius putting along at 55 mph on the freeway, it'll be me! Given the rain and cooler temperatures we've had, your mileage will be less. Also, you will see better MPG's with your tire pressures raised. On the days that it hasn't been raining, I've been getting a touch over 60 mpg on my drive from Pleasanton to Foster City (max speed = 55 mph and I'm leaving for work before 5 am)
