    I'll repeat here as I did on PriusOnline, though I'll clarify a point I made there.

    On the consuption screen you refer to, the 'blue' bars refer to the efficiency of your travels in Miles per Gallon. Basically it is showing inversely the amount of fuel you are using, unless you are in Canada, in which it is measuring L/100KM, where it is showing your actual consumtion.
    Within those blue bars, you may see stars (cars on the newer models) which indicate 50WH of electricity generated during regenerative braking. 50WH is the amount of electricity you would consume from a 50 watt bulb burning for an hour.
