Evan's turn for the PHV Prius!

**efusco** · 07-22-2010, 06:30 PM

Tony got first dibs and posted his experience Here an Here, last week. But on Monday I get my chance to enjoy the PHV Prius for a week!

I don't anticipate anything quite as elaborate as Tony's Blog, or even a lot of experimenting. I hope to drive it just as I do with my current Prius--hypermiling on my usual commute. May have one longer trip to St.Louis (3.5 hours each way) for a highway test, and will probably just do one highway speed trip to work on the 'main' route to see if I can get there in EV (doubt it).

If there is anything Tony didn't cover that anyone's wondering about, let me know.

Sweet deal man!

If they need someone to test one in the wildlands of California I might know a guy.

Evan your not getting my ScanGauge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because with any luck I might just have another use for it in the next few days.

Anyway I hope you post some details like Tony.

Do you have a Kill-A-Watt?

Plug it in, 3 hours, plug it in!

Well if you really need one I guess you can use mine if Tony wants to ship it to you. I would just like it back when your done.

Hmmmm...it would be nice to have--I'm gonna miss the data available from CAN-View--I have the car until the 3rd, leave the country on the 5th (for 9 months), but see no reason I couldn't get it in the mail before I leave. if you're willing and Tony's able to get it too me this weekend.

When do you anticipate needing it Jay??

Maybe today.

Actually if Tony can ship it to you your more than welcome to use it. Just try to get it shipped back to me before you leave.

Thanks Jay--can't share what your potential need is for huh? I've got my CAN-View, of course, but no way it would work in the 2010 PHV.
