prius III

Chris has a post on the car. Anyway I am getting better at it and now have the consumption down about 5% on what I was getting before as I learn how it works and read more on the user group site. There is defiantly a technique you should use. I am still often tired driving it as so much more concentration is required as I learn to drive the car. But, and I said this before, only one continuously variable gear is a good thing.

Idle, standing, aircon on: 46 dB
Level driving: 52-56 dB
Peak engine, steep hill, 4 passengers: 64-66 dB
