Best is when only the engine is moving the vehicle. Decelerate slowly well ahead of the stopping point to maximize brake regeneration. Best is when neither engine nor motor is moving the vehicle and the battery is not charging (gliding). Keep the vehicle in a garage during cold weather because a cold vehicle reduces brake regeneration. Keep tire pressure at recommended levels or higher to reduce tire friction losses. I up them by 2 psi. Steady 55 mph (55-60 mpg) is the point of peak efficiency. 75 mph: 40-45 mpg. For every mph faster than 55 mph, fuel economy drops by about 1 percent. /~graham1/MyToyotaPrius/Driving/Economy.htm Driving for Lowest Emissions and Highest MPG MPG is much lower for the first 5-10 minutes of driving, because the engine is run until it reaches the best temperature for the lowest emissions. So, combine short-trips to save gasoline. MPG, as for all new cars, increases as the miles are driven up to about 10,000 miles. Higher tire pressure=higher MPG. Maximum pressure for the tires=44 psi. (Standard=35 front/33 back) Should be 2 psi greater in front than in back. I use 38/36; many use 42/40. Use cruise control when possible to get best MPG. MPG versus MPH for 2003-8 Prius Note the big decrease in mpg above 70 mph! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Toyota Prius 2004-5 Power Split Device Power Split Device: 78 teeth in ring gear, 30 teeth in sun gear, 23 teeth in each planet/pinion gear.
