    Well at least to me that's the whole point of buying Prius just to maximize mpg and that can be done by driving moderately instead of jumping off from stops

    If your "moderate" driving is forcing EV, you are hurting your MPG. I get the best MPG with accelerating at the top of ECO HSI range and gliding as fast and as far as possible (in city only of course).

    While getting breakfast at one of my favorite hangouts, this car parked next to me. I do like black. Basically has done the window tint, removed the stock hubcaps thing like me.
