Best MPG segments - Picture Thread

My own modest contribution.

 

It is the 'Past record' screen and you get there by pressing the 'disp' (display) button on your steering wheel. It displays the best three MPG listings from your last 100 segments. It does this automatically in the 'ODO' mode and records the results each time you reset the 'A' or 'B' trip meters.

 

Uh, yojo's photo is probably not one that reflects a true mpg value. I am not casting aspersions, just sayin'. Anyone can publish the ODO 'since start' number and mske it appear that something extraordinary has happened. Now, it is possible that he/she drove the initial 49 miles on the car's odometer and garnered the stated mpg, but the photo could also not be representative. I waas looking for photo evidence that could not be misrepresentative (short of photoshopping).

Look at this and you'll see what I am saying:



I drove around the block in ev mode and the above was the result. (Sorry about the photo quality). Anytime you start the car and then turn it off, the 'odo, since start' information gives the mpg for that segment ONLY. Other information screens and the trip meter displays that give mpg readings that may not be misinterpreted are what I was looking for in this thread.

Thanks.

 

My average speeds for the photo I posted were probably in the 25-35 mph area.

 

Wow. If memory serves, it's pretty flat around Des Moines. Find a flat road where you can put your car in cruise and run a few miles at 55-60 mph. Check to make sure you've got at least the recommended psi in your tires. If you aren't getting over 50 mpg, I would be concerned enough to consult/insult the dealer. While Prii are very reliable cars, it is not unheard of that a drive battery is not up to snuff from the get-go.

 

There are, at present, 112 Prii c reporting at Fuelly.com.

Spanky (not Sparky) has the lowest of all and he's reporting 38.8 mpg over 2000+ miles. Unless your foot is in it all the time, I think you might have a problem. Sorry, but considering your experience with the other cars and your MPG reports, I'd recommend taking it in and having it thoroughly checked. Good luck.

 

Actually, I've been coerced by abysmally stupid politicians and enviro-crazies to make choices I'd rather not make.

I prefer to make the best of this situation.

 

So far my mpg picture thread has one legitimate picture. Is there any way to delete an entire thread outside of annoying a moderator? I am embarrassed at the lack of interest.
