Hi Kent.
Equivalent to the Alpha range, but from a different source which does not do mail order sales.
Autofleece do a great product, you won't be disappointed.

Regards,
John.

I haven't forgotten you Kent. I have been working on the spreadsheet and have now finished it except for setting up a toggle to show/hide the instructions on how to use it.
I have automated the entry of data as much as possible and have 2 charts, one showing fuel consumption and the other fuel price.
I will forward as soon as I have it finished.
If anyone else is interested let me know.

Orf,

Are the units configurable or are you just going with those "crazy" SI units?

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(tripp @ Aug 9 2006, 12:16 PM) [snapback]300263[/snapback]</div>

I am note quite sure what you mean but it is designed to calculate in metric with 2 columns for MPG comparison with USA readouts.
Large parts of the spreadsheet are configurable, well I suppose all parts are, and you can add columns for data that is not part of the base spreadsheet. I have made provision for some extras such as temperature and comments etc.
So far, there are a total of 5 sheets with various functions.
I hope any users come back to me with any changes they would like to see.

tripp,

If there were enough people from the US interested, I could convert the spreadsheet for use in the US. I would need some feedback on info that you may like to record. I could send you a copy of the metric version and you could assess the various parts for suitability.

 

Are there any owners in the Brisbane/Southeast Queensland area who would be interested in being part of a Prius Owner's Club?

If so, please either PM me, or reply through this forum. Let's enjoy our cars!

Regards to all,
Sleeka.

 

Hello all

Back from sunshine and coffs harbour, didn't miss a bit 4.7l/100 all the way with 3 pax. Due for 20000k now anyone did the steering recall yet?

G'day Duck.
Glad you liked Coffs. We have a holiday unit there....great place!
Had the recall done 2 weeks ago. No problems, takes about 2 hours. Tell your dealer you need to have it done when you book the service.

Cheers,
Sleeka.

 

Anyone interested in a spreadsheet for monitoring fuel consumption? I have now finished creating one and it is free to anyone who wants to use it.
You will need MS Excel to run it.
It uses Litres, Kilometers and L/100 km, so if you live in a country that does not use these measurements, hold fire, because I am working on one for Europe and another for Great Britain. I will then tackle one for the USA.

Hi Orf,

I would love a copy, do you want me to PM you my e-mail address so you can send it to me?

Thanks mate,
Kent

Hey, Kent,
Any news on your car's arrival? Must be getting close now!

BTW, Stan from Autofleece will send you some sheepskin samples for your seats if you want them. Just ask him.

Regards,
John.

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(kentricho @ Aug 23 2006, 01:58 AM) [snapback]308100[/snapback]</div>

Yes, PM me Kent.
To others who would like a copy just PM me your email address and I will send you a copy of the Australian version of Prius fuel consumption spreadsheet.

Order Tracking

No worries, I'll give Stan a call, some samples would be good, thanks heaps for that mate!

The wait is nearly over!
Congratulations.....enjoy the new experience (and the envy of friends around you!).

You might also like a pair of these to suit the new beast....PM me if you would like more info, I can organise them for you down there.

Cheers,
John.[attachmentid=4641]

 

Thanks again for the spreadsheet, Orf. I'll be looking into it soon and verifying the input/output.

 

Yeah thanks for the spreadsheet Orf, it looks great and is just what I wanted. I tried e-mailing you to say thanks, but it bounced back to me saying it couldn't get through or something (this was a few days ago!)

Thanks again!

Hey Kent,
Have you got your new car home yet? How do you like it?

John.

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(kentricho @ Aug 29 2006, 05:35 PM) [snapback]311324[/snapback]</div>

Don't know why your email should bounce, Kent. Enjoy the spreadsheet but enjoy you car more.

 

Hey guys, yeah I picked my car up on Tuesday night, I haven't been able to write much because I've been really busy, but pictures will follow probably on Saturday afternoon.

I've driven around 250km so far and it is such an unreal car to drive, unbelievably smooth, luxurious and quiet.

Will report back with more information on Saturday

 

Okay guys, here is the link to the pictures of my new car.

Enjoy
