Frozen at 49 mph.... since 1/19/14

i would complain to the dealer before the warranty is up.

 

Lets be clear, no matter what speed you drive, the big speedometer reports 49 MPH? That should be a warranty issue.
(my v has a screen where it reports average MPH, 49 would be believable)

If you meant 49 MPG, You may only be on a screen you did not expect.

 

oh, mpg? sorry.

 

So, where exactly are you seeing that number ?

Mine shows various MPG numbers on about 5 different screens and they
all mean something different. Several are long term averages.

 

How many miles are on your TripA gauge?

The more miles on it, the more stable the reading should be. I prefer to reset on the the trip gauges daily, that gives rapid feedback. The other trip meter is used for the whole tank.

 

Ah, so it IS mpg not mph as you wrote.

I track 3 MPGs on my v: instant MPG on the ScanGauge, tank average on the trip odometer, and life time average on the odometer. They almost never match.

 

The mileage should fluctuate soon after a fill-up if you reset the Trip odometer.

 

these cars were designed to provide 40 mpg, no matter how you drive them.

 

So I have to ask:
If you rarely use battery, WHY did you get a "plug-in" model ??
You paid more for something that you are not using.

For my '13 C; might be different for your model:
There is trip A and trip B that will give different averages depending on when
they were reset. Then there is the displayed MPG average for the current trip which
gets reset automatically with each start.
THEN there are a couple of "energy score" screens which I haven't mastered yet and I think
one of them gives a long term average MPG.

If you reset trip A, for instance, every time you fill the tank, that display should give you the
measure that you want.

 

Maybe he is using the battery but only getting 49 MPG. If he had a regular Prius, he could be getting 40 MPG.

Who knows... let's wait for OP's response.

 

The guy is from LA; perhaps he bought it to gain HOV access.

 

That's my guess!

 

PFG, it would save confusion for new readers of your thread if you would edit your original post to MPG and that your are talking about Trip A screen. Best to note as 'corrections'. Thanks
