I drive a full-hybrid car for a last few months and I've learned how to use the electric motor advantage but I didn't hear that advice in the film. The biggest fuel consumption the engine has during the acceleration, so you need to learn how to accelerate efficiently. Depending on the traffic condition, you should either use only the electric power (in the heavy traffic when you creep in the jam it's doable) or shorten the acceleration time, which means you speed up quite dynamically using the petrol engine, reaching the cruising speed and then you release the throttle till your car switches to EV engine. You can cruise then on the electric engine using only its minimum power to keep the desired speed. You will get much better fuel consumption results in comparison with accelerating slowly with the less horsepower. Of course when you drive a motorway you can't use only the electric engine cause it doesn't generate enough power, but within a build-up area or on a calm country road this method will give you real savings.

In my old Non-Hybrid Yaris I used to get just about 50 mpg on average if I was lucky but now I am near 70mpg. I am also a very much more relaxed driver than I was.

In January this year, I switched from one of the 2017 Yaris’s to the current Yaris model. It’s a lot better overall, both in performance and noise level, and efficiency. One of the features in the new one is the type of tyre in use - it has a lower rolling resistance than the previous one. I think that is one of the most important factors at moderate speed in any car when it comes to reducing the fuel required. One of the other features that you haven’t mentioned in this production that can be useful to maintain fuel efficiency is the Assisted Cruise Control (ACC) using it’s radar device; I often use that, and there are many parts of a journey that the engine does not run at all, even at 60 - 70 mph on falling gradients, or when catching up on something slower ahead etc.

A 1997 Prius with Ni-Mh battery (in my country) changes to gasoline mode only if the battery exceeds 45.0 degrees C (113 F). This happens if your trip has a lot of regenerative breaking. It changes to gasoline mode also if you reach 70% full battery (unless it is still quite cold). I use the App Hybrid Assistant with a quality ODBCII to monitor the battery and I am getting and extra 200 km (120miles) for each tank compare to before. This is highly dependent on the kind of route I take.

I get 70mpg plus most of the time in my corolla tourer and I'm very happy with it. The worst thing about it is the sat nav, which is a shame as the one on my avensis was brilliant. Take care in rural areas especially, it will take you off a nice A road onto single track barely roads with grass growing in the middle! There used to be a fastest v shortest route setting, not any more. Plan ahead or use Google maps instead!

My new corolla is a bit of a pain. A blues screen comes up every time I turn the engine on and i have to accept 2 boxes and then OK before the screen disappears, why. Also on my old Auris I had a readout of actual mpg all the while, I have not managed to be able to get that on the screen and can only find mpg on a graphical screen for each journey. The alternative is an average value which is rubbish when you want to see how well you are driving. Otherwise its a lot quieter, I have tried out some of the anti collision features to see if they work, and they do. I had a tx come through the other day while driving and could not hear what the tx said even though it was reading it back. All the above will be investigated over the next week or so.

From what I've heard, Eco mode will make the vehicle even more fuel efficient, but the trade-off is that it will accelerate a bit slower than usual. It's good for city driving. You might want to be in Normal or Sport mode when overtaking vehicles on the highway.

Hi David, thanks for your patience. B mode allows the engine to be used as a brake, therefore not the best way to maintain battery condition and charge. The regenerative functions of the system are effectively switched off in this mode. The optimum mode for battery charging is D. More info on this can be found in the online Owners Manual: www.toyota.co.uk/customer/manuals We hope this helps, thank you.

B mode is only for going down steep hills, for extra braking . D mode for everything else.

My 2013 Prius has 184,000 miles and drives like a new car??? I was told by another Prius owner to change over to 87 Octane (PURE GAS) no Ethanol, by gosh he was right? After 3 tanks of real gas I made a trip down Dallas Way the round trip came to 350 mile I was mostly driving 60-65mph when I filled up and I got 54mpg WOW the only way I was able to get 50-52mpg miles using Ethanol Gas was to drive 50-55mph, I live in Oklahoma and know a number of folks using the pure gas no POP CORN liquid??? The Toyota Prius was and is the best engineered car ever made going back to the 60's Mercedes, Ferrari, Maserati, Ford, GM and Dodge, No joke The spark plugs and and Breaks were changed out at 100,000 miles , all fluids are changed at 65,000 miles 0-20W Synthetic oil and factory oil filter is changed at 5000 miles cabin filters are also changed once in a while put that up against the service of 60,000 miles Mercedes or BMW which can give the symptoms of illness when you hit the cashiers office, NO JOKE there either...

@AndreasEUR Жыл бұрын

Hard to say without seeing you drive, but remember most models as far as I know can EV at highway speeds up to around 60 in my experience (with my Prius 2019) So going 50 I release pedal and quickly apply just a little bit, and engine turns off and keeps me at 50 using electric. Coast as much as you can, plan driving. Never be the first one to the intersection. If you see red light, start coasting long before, if done 100% you won't even stop for the light.

I would like to add to the statements made by the presenter. She claims all the energy decelerating is recovered, I've done testing in my Plug in Prius-measuring the energy climbing a slope, then descending the same slope using the regeneration to the best the car is able-the regen system recovers 50% of the energy climbing the slope. She also claimed that using the climate control on recirculate is more efficient-absolutely not. Use the fresh air from outside to cool or heat the car -that's free energy rather than running the air conditioning compressor. Above 70 km/hr (45m/hr) the air con is more efficient than the extra wind drag, so close the windows when above 70km/hr. I do use recirculate when behind diesels or passing stinky factories. I had the Prius for three years before really concentrating on improving the fuel economy-A year of effort has gradually enabled me to halve my fuel use on my daily commute without increasing my drive time. Now I'm disappointed with myself if I use more than 100mpg. The Yaris is not a plug-in but uses no more fuel on longer trips; it would be quite a lot better if it had the energy use display that the Prius has.

@ed8519 11 ай бұрын

I think she said you can end up using electric 50% of the time. Also that AC on recirculating air saves energy when compared to ac taking air from outside. That's true. Obviously no AC is cheaper.

@vmgf1437 Ай бұрын

I think what she meant by having the AC on recirculate, was having AC on and fresh air coming in. The car would have to cool that fresh air. But with recirculate on, it just keeps the same group of air cold. I don't think she meant AC is better for gas mileage than just having fresh air come in without the AC on.
