    Hello all,
    Just got a prius c a week ago. A 2013 Four in Blue, I have enjoyed saving money this first week of driving it back and forth to work. I estimate I have saved $30 this week in gas alone. I am having trouble figuring out how to set up the comparison car the right way... the car I want to compare is a 2003 Dodge SRT-4 (White uses premium gas / around $4 a gallon in Maryland usually) and it gets about 23mpg max. What I dont understand is how to enter in the gas price and mileage to use in the comparison. I may have to calculate how many MPG the comparison car would be when running @ the pr

    Welcome, from another MD guy.

    I haven't set a comparison vehicle but did my actual price per gallon, done in the settings of the 3.5" display.

    Congrats on your C!! (y)

    It is in the "settings" display.
    I absolutely HATE the way the "display" button works for the settings.
    Push the display button slowly until "Settings......press and hold...." appears.
    Press and hold.
    One of the things that comes up is setting the price of gas and mpg of the comparison car.

    Good luck holding the button down at the right time !!!!

    New to the hybrid world. Got a 2012 white PC4 with 5k miles. Looking to do a few mods to her, roof rack w/ bike racks and hitch on order. I love the car so far.

    Yes. Only one price can be set, I think.
    It is done in the "settings" the first time.

    And every time you put more than 3 gallons in the car it will show up once you start the car... at least the 3/4 will.
