    Hi Fuzzy, thanks for the info, that makes sense now... :) I can barely compete now with some of the AMAZING MPG that I'm seeing here on the forum... I'm glad I got the 46 mpg that I'm already seeing...

    Thanks!

    One OP from Portugal had used one in its 2Gen Prius all year round. Last month of May had a trouble with the catalytic pot, which broke. Yet not investigated, may have something to do with having no proper starting cycle (leaped by the heater block) to heat this part correctly (by flow) before full operation temperature reached.
    So I would use it for cold weather only, as designed.
    Other opinions are asked here to add.
