    Also I'm pretty naive. Purchased the snow tires and rims from dealer and had them install. Assumed they would of set the pressure correctly. Checked yesterday and all 4 tires were 8lbs under. No wonder I thought the ride was Cadillac like.:ROFLMAO: Ride now is a little firmer but it now seems to roll better.:)

    This 3rd tank I'm doing way better...which is surprising. I'm in sport mode all the time now and driving it like a normal car. Not watching the MPG graph. All my trips today were sub 4lt/100kms. I'm very happy.(y)

    I am happy to announce my 2017 Prius is up to 49 MPG overall and still climbing. I am not quite a pro driver but I am getting there. I know another 2017 Prius owner who has a couple thousand miles on her car and is stuck at 47 MPG. I use the B mode on hills regularly.

    Congratulations Tim. Not sure that using B Mode is always such a great idea. The car knows exactly what is best for the systems and sometimes it's better to just see what it chooses to do. FWIW, I only use B on a long, or steep downhill with a full battery to avoid overusing the brakes.

    The higher pressure should help your fuel economy too.

    Wow. That's a lot of snow. What place received that much snow?

    Close door. Back to bed. Set alarm for spring.

    Two years ago I moved to Southern California after living in "four seasons" county all my life (British Columbia, Seattle, Central Washington, Chicago). On Friday it was 70 degrees (cold cold cold). Today, I took my new Honda Grom out for a ride in my shirt sleeves. I am never going back ... not even to visit.

    7 months since last post and the fuel economy in the summer is awesome. Averaging 4.1lt/100. Thi tank so far is well over 800kms.

    Some trips are great. One trip last week was 2.3lt/100kms. 40kms in length.
