What temp do you normally set it? Are you also using eco mode and setting a particular speed or do you press auto?
Yeah, using EV at appropriate moments can give you crazy mileage, but definitely Malaysian roads are crippling our performance.  I try though not to use EV as much as it approaches near 3rd bar and just charge it up by then.
Lol, I saw a Honda Insight but I was in a jam by that time. Yeah I use Trip A for my tank refills. I dunno about whether I can trust what the cruising range says though, I'm sure I can do more than what it's saying. Probably because I'm not going at high cruising speeds, but it's probably right in its estimates. I have done around 770km's now (on odo) and I have 2 bars left on the fuel gauge.

Ok here is my contribution for mileage challenge (well instead of a 'challenge', think of it as a way to improve your driving skills to get a better mileage by using other users results as a benchmark) for those of you who are in Sabah. It begins at the Shell station off Jalan Kolam. Here is the information:

I just seen my 2nd Prius C in KK - it was black color and I passed him and he passed me but I don't think he saw me lol cos it was during the jam. I remember his plate number though.

Ok, since I last made this post, those 2 damn bars went down really quickly sad.gif and I didn't want to chance it so at 1 beep or two I started heading towards the gas station.

Anyhow here is a breakdown so far of my 1st tank:
752.7km @24.5km/L  (Damn, why did it get crappy near the end lol)
Full tank refill price $60.10RM @31.62L @$1.90RM/L [Ron95]
*
I normally set at 25.5. Fan speed depends on temperature outside.
I have done 2K+km now. I keep trip B for overall mileage. It now stands at 26.1km/l. I reset trip A whenever I pump petrol. It stands at 27.2km/l. I noticed the 3rd bar disappeared at 360km. So average consumption is 90km/bar

Is Prius C meter showing km/Litre or Litre/100km?  My Prius is showing Litre/100km.  Or is there a place I can change it?
*
Mine is in km/l. Sorry, I do not know how to change.

Which brand?

Brand does not really matter. I use BHP simply because UOB is giving me 7% cash back :-)

You should try UOB, 5% cash rebate (deduct from your account) for all types of petrol + another 2% smart cash (for redemption) if you pump at BHP. No annual fees; government tax also waived.

Just change my booking to Prius last week,estimated July can get it ,better than November.

One thing I do not like about Prius is that the back passengers are exposed to the hot sun. That put me off. Prius C is more suitable for Malaysia's hot weather because the area inside the car that is exposed to sun light is minimum. Therefore the inside temperature is not that high when you park under the hot sun

Added on June 6, 2012, 8:05 pmBy the way, did u guys keep getting harrassed by your SA after getting the car to fill up the survey form from UMW?
And force u to mark 9 or 10, so he/she can go for their overseas incentive trip???  sweat.gif i find that quite annoying.
Yes, but I rated him according to my honest opinion, not everything 9, 10.

Agree, of course with good & tactful customer service.

I scratch your back, you scratch my back mah.

My SA promised to give me a full tank of petrol. On delivery day, he only mentioned that the car has RM10 petrol. When I reminded about his promise, he gave me another RM20, yet he was expecting at least 9 from me? Anyway, I gave him credit for fetching me to his company on the car delivery day.

May I know how long does it take to get the e-voucher after submitting the survey form ? How about the merit points after car servicing ?

I did not receive it after submitting the form for more than 2weeks. They only credited to my account after I complained. For merit point, I complained 3 weeks after my car service. After I have made the complaints, I received them within 24hours.

If all these require 1 month to process, I will wait in future.

yea bro. not that quiet actually if u actually connected to them. its fun and yesterday we have  a mini TT at ss2. few members just chit chatting and planning for event. this weekend they have a super GT TT at sepang. together with other club [volkwagen, mitsubishi & ors] its kinda happening bro. anf they had also registered the club under Registrar of society. soon will have a event purely for hybrid. so the more members we have, the better we have a event. anyway, there is strictly prohibition on marketing. so, its purely making friends with all hybrid owners

Sorry, forgot to mention that I only checked the Prius C FB, not Hybrid. I prefer to join just the Prius C group. No interest in Honda hybrid as they can not run on EV mode, not a true Hybrid. This is only my personal preference.

Pumped petrol today again after traveling for 577km. Actual FC was 26.1km/l, slightly lower than the trip meter of 27.1km/l.

Hi.. got the maintenance cost chart for Prius C from tribe toyota..

Did my 1000km service two days ago. My service history has been updated, but merit points still not.. Anyone knows how long does it take for toyota to update the merit points?

fizlan75: Where is the shop you got your DVD-AVN? i'm interested..

I asked the same question yesterday. Looks like they need a month to update the merit point unless you email them to complain. Surprisingly, the service record is updated within 24hours.....

The car was launched in Feb. Waiting period then was three months. You should have received your car last month. According to my SA last week, the waiting period now is 2 months. Apparently, people are jumping queue.

how much is full tank for ron 95?

how far can a full tank travel?
*
When I received my new car, I was told that it had RM10 petrol. I pumped another RM61 to full. So total = RM71/1.9 = ca. 37 litres. FC for my PC is 26km/l. So, theoretically, mine should be able to travel 960km for a full tank.

Anyway, sorry haven't been able to participate lately because apart from driving around and doing other things especially while my internet was cut off since last Wednesday (yes it drove me crazy). Nice to hear about the TRD kit (I still want the Tommy Kaira one hehe). I've been trying to look for proper mats here but just can't find any (Sabah) for my Prius C.
*
My SA gave me a set of nice thick mats. Very useful to trap dust and sand. I keep the thin original mats, which looks cheap....

Mind showing me pics of the mats you got  smile.gif

Oh yeah I am not sure if my post got through last wednesday when my internet got cut off, but I wanted to remind everyone to *always* retract your side mirrors whenever parking because last week when I went to the movie I was telling myself I should've done that, instinct was telling me but I was saying "it'll be fine, the car is at least 1 open door away and can't reach and he's probably at the cinema too", but I was really wrong. Got a nasty scratch from some ******* hitting my side mirror, not sure how because the next car that parked on that side was also far away. Anyway I've learned that I should listen to my instincts more heh.
The other problem I have is my cats that have now taken the liberty of sleeping on top of my car with muddy paws. I chased one of them down squirting it with water - I just hope it associates the squirting with "do-not-sit-on-car" and I don't want to make it bolt when it see's me and end up scratching the car.

*
Ok, I will try to take some photos and upload tomorrow.

Side mirrors, yes, I always make it a point to retract them, turn the engine off, and turn the side mirrors switch on it again so that when I turn on the engine the next time, the mirrors will move back and ready to be used.
