    Damn! Well I guess we know who can provide some good reliability data for the forum.

    Wonder what EV precentage is at 67000? What is the MPGe?

    Any issues?

    36K since August 2017. Been dealing with a major issue past two months, enough so that I looked into invoking the "lemon law." But I've exceeded the mileage (12,000) and the time (1 year). Am barely hanging on due to repairs having started before the warranty (36,000) was up. They've replaced temp sensor first, thermostat (2nd time), and grill shutters (3rd) time. Yet the "check engine" warning light still comes on. Even brought field engineer from NJ to work on it. They've spent probably 15 hours.

    I have a 240 V charger. Which allows me too get a lot of EV range. So I estimate about 25 to 30% of that is electric. The only issues I’ve had with the car so far is the rain sensing wipers going out around 30,000 miles. But Toyota corporation was willing to pay that on their dime as a first time courtesy. It was a $500 relay. No other mechanical problems. I change oil every 7 to 8000 miles. Valvoline synthetic seems best. I have used mobile 1 but I like valvoline. I did get some cracks in the plastic part where the sensors are mounted near the emblem due to rocks. Electric tape seems to work best and you can’t see it. Also I don’t like their TPMS sensors. You have to take them into the shop to have them reset the lights if you swap out winter tires without tpms. You can’t reset yourself like you would think.

    I did the same thing. Luckily with only 800-1k miles, so I left one of the trip odo running from then on.

    yeah, I could (and should) have kept external track of the numbers, but really, with all the systems in place you wouldn't think you had to. especially for something like the lifetime numbers. why do they let you reset them?
    seems like an easy way to sell the car though... reset them, do a short, almost all eve drive (with just a little gas) and show that your "lifetime" mpg is now 90mpg or something stupid. some idiot will fall for it.

    Did you mean 40,000 miles? Because if it's around 30,000 miles it would still be under the 36,000 miles bumper to bumper warranty.

    As far oil changes every 7k to 8k on a plug-in is probably extreme, you're only getting 5k to 6k of engine run time. I know it's a personal decision but if I drove that much I wouldn't want to change the oil so often since I'm a DIY.

    Here's a Volt driver that drives 220 miles a day and does his oil changes at 38,000 miles:

    I have had the car 23 months and driven 8371 miles with a readout of 102.7 mpg. I have stopped in a gas station eight times and added a total of 59.9 gallons of regular in those 23 months. The tank was full when I bought the car and is full now, so the 59.9 gallons are its actual consumption.

    Hummm, something doesn't add up. If your odometer is at 8371 and your actual gas consumption is 59.9 gallons, then your lifetime mileage should show 139.7 mpg (8371÷59.9). In fact, PRIME's mpg display is always 5-7% more optimistic so it should actually be showing you ~150mpg.

    I may be possible that I neglected to add a fillup to my record book. It shows adding gas on 22 Jan 2018 at 4721 miles and next on 5 Sep 2018 at 7095 miles. However, we were travelling in Asia for five months last year and the car was in the garage. Does this mileage have anything to do with the fact that the car gets 30 miles per EV charge in the summer but only 23 or 24 miles in the cold of the winter?

    My understanding is that mpg displayed is strictly from miles driven and gas used for that distance, with a maximum of 199mpg for 2017 model (updated to 999mpg for 2018 model). AFAIK, EV drive range, long or short, has no bearing into calculating this mpg, that is besides adding miles driven without using any gas. My car had the odometer reading 23398 miles and 89.4 mpg at the last fill up. My Prime's lifetime mpg from hand calculation is 86.5 mpg which is within the error range of the Toyota display (always 5-8% better than actual by hand calculation).

    Yeah your right it must have been 40k. Getting old. But it was just past the warranty phase. I DIY for oil changes. I am a bit too cautious on the oil changes. Oil looked good after 5k so I increased it to 8k And it still didn't look to bad. But I hope to drive it to 200k before I get a new car.
