CleanMPG - 2010 Toyota Prius fuel economy review

[Sinjinator]

Put on your seat belts everyone, we're going Hypermiling!

So.. The slower you drive?

The BetteR? or it doesn't matter??

@SuperRainbowVeins slower you drive, more electricity use and less gas

[EcoAccelerometry]

@awesomeness2571 Indeed. But the benefits of driving slower come from less air resistance since as speed doubles, the air resistance quadruples. Using more electricity is also NOT the key to better fuel economy either. Using less gas is. After all, the Prius is still a gasoline car and one of the advantages it has over non-hybrid cars is that it CAN recover SOME energy (during braking) that others cannot. But still, that energy still costs fuel so use the least possible, NOT more.

@EcoAccelerometry true.....

haha!!!

[nuclearthreat545]

How'd you get dual OBII devices?

[EcoAccelerometry]

@nuclearthreat545 The scangauges can be daisy chained with just one of them connecting directly to the OBD-II port.

[nuclearthreat545]

Do you have any sort of info on how to do that? I really wanna do that in my truck but im not sure how to go about it? Maybe a video?

[nuclearthreat545]

Also I didnt mention that i dont actually have a scanguage and maybe only the scanguage has the plug available from the factory to do this.

[madfads]

yes a HUD is standard in some countries

[venichen1]

the trim level in this video is EXACTLY the same as the one they sold here, and there is only one trim level here...

[venichen1]

one difference though, there is a HUD in the Prius sold here.

[aleniko17]

Not a hud. Touch Tracer Display.
