    Hi - Just bought a 2014 PIP Base and really want to set up that cool feature that tells you how much money you're saving compared to your old car. Can someone explain to me how to do it? I can't find the feature anywhere in any menu system nor can I find it in my manual.

    Perhaps the answer is the PIP base doesn't have that feature? Thanks.

    Welcome Prius chat
    it automatically tells you "money saved by charge" on the mfd by hitting the display button on wheel

    nope it doesnt tell you compared to your old car
    it tells you how many gallons you've saved by the electricity

    It's not in the 2013 Advanced model. I thought it was in the Prius V with their updated MFD.

    If this is what you are referring to, everyone has it. It is on the ratio screen.

    yes, i understand the gallons saved. i think o/p is looking for $$$ saved. you would need a place to input it, but it's a simple calculation.

    Ya. He is thinking of the regular Prius where after each trip it tells you how much you saved compared to the other car you entered. Plus you can enter your gas price after each fillup. It then has a corresponding screen that shows how much you saved over time. The base definitely doesn't have this. I have never heard of the advanced having that either.
