Oil rating not in the service sheet i think


1) hmm i will try that , i accel very gently nowaday

2) also doing alrd

3) 24 for me, any higher i will melt

4) i eco most of the time... will off and see

5) i alrd heavy liao

book a silver baby C for my wife today ,, need wait for 4 months at least ..huhuhu

When did you book the car? Just want to collect information on waiting period from current owners.

Same goes to me also in PJ. Why not prior to gathering we shall have coffee shop chit chat session?

Same goes to me. To get 22km/l I am really really happy. If to achieve 28 km/l I think I suppose to celebrate wit Moet already

I guess the checklist of things to look at are
- short trips/drives really kill the mileage as car is warming up to operating temps using gas engine (probably get better mileage the longer duration you drive from this)
- car is still not yet fully broken in
- weather factors
- road factors
- aircon I guess
- distance of trips
- tire pressure
- what mode is the car using (normal/eco)

Hm they also say if you get significant mileage drop if you had a bump in your car that may change the alignment, or if you serviced it (engine oil factor)

My method of driving is to conservatively accelerate using the gas engine from the halfway mark from top of EV to beginning to PWR on the Eco score (I always get full scores for my accelerations. Then when I reach my desired speed I will try to push it along with the help of EV (I also try not to use the EV when I accelerate so I can conserve its power to help maintain car speed), I also use EV if I entered a slower area. Depending on where I am I may brake early or gradual, either to charge battery or adjust/keep momentum until the light turns green. "The less I press, the more I score", I guess that is kind of my mantra if I can just keep using the cars momentum. I noticed I've been accelerating the car from stops using EV despite what I had just mentioned which probably did not help.

I use ECO on flat terrain, and switch to Normal on hilly areas sometimes, but I mostly stick to ECO (cos I forget to switch alot). I think we really need to pay attention to the timing of things, like rate of acceleration of climbing a hill and also things like battery drain usage (conserve it for the right time), speeding up & down in sync with the traffic to maximize momentum efficiency, and I guess there's a whole load of other things to consider. I also try not to let battery go down too far or the gas engine will kick in to charge it lowering the mileage further.

I guess I'm not worried about the low mileage I get from short trips (the causes are obvious) but it's the gas guzzling on my longer duration drives that seem too fast now, as well as the loose acceleration/slight depreciation of car power for the EV motor (and perhaps gas motor). I will keep monitoring it, but I'm still on my first tank anyway so it's too early to tell (I think I have 4 bars left).

I book the car around March... Got it on June 1st... About 2 months...

Added on June 3, 2012, 1:13 pmFrom what you said, i think mine has the same situation as yours... I pump in RM50 of petrol, when my fuel tank has about 2 bars left... Saw my crusing range turned into around 906km... Okay, thats after i pump... Right after i pump, I went down from Ampang to Puchong, then from Puchong to Centrepoint Bandar Utama... With ECO mode on and all, my cruising range suddenly dips to around 780 km, and boy, that was fast for like what, a 25km trip down?

Maybe ECO slows down the engine performance, which also means eating more fuel, as the engine needs warming up and so... Gonna try it on Normal mode and see how much i can squeeze out for the mileage... Best fuel consumption i got, maximum wise, is only up to 22km/l, that is with conservative driving and all... Lol

Looks like the major difference contributing to FC is air cond's temperature setting. I always set 25.5 to 26.5

Went up Cameron with my friends last night
Me driving Prius c this round, cuz if I drive civic I will smoke her car easily. My friend is driving Insight

Both of us pump full before going up, ytd was super jam at top there. But overall Prius C won in terms of FC. Me just back and I left 3 bars after jamming down back to home took 5 hours while Insight need to pump petrol when reached Tg Malim

Going uphill with fully loaded is not a problem! Damn, I can smoke my friend's insight easily and I can smoke cars like Vios, City easily during cruising uphill

Like the engine roaring sound, in fact I press till it roar very fierce! Even the passby cars also stare on my car!

Hahaha

Lol, I quite like all the sounds from the regen braking to the engine roar. Instead of looking at it in a negative light, I look at it more like a unique sound no one else has hahaha. Super stealthy jet plane lion. What a mouthful.

Right now I am having a different battle though - the evil water spots! *shakes fist at hard water*. At least it's not bird poop.

November for people just booked? I was told about 3 months but that is like 5-6 months. Is the SA just trying to get a booking?

Prius C Aqua blue spotted in Sri petaling Toyota show room.

Oooo.. I smell some good news for me. Finally Prius C new colour had arrived KL. Hope this 2 days my SA will call me for the arrival.

wow congrats keanutan. Welcome to the club

see the video in 1st page

Think need to go after 10k km to know how our pc behave ^^

wow thanks bro. will join for sure.


wow sure ? Think its pc got alot of torque from more powerful petrol engine and electric engine compare to insight hehe. Wonder why ppl say insight engine is better as its smaller capacity and the electric is for supportand can't run alone like pc


I saw one aqua in klang also today nearby klang aeon bukit tinggi. i crave to see metalic blue now.

Same here too bro. you and i book same blue metalic right. TT.. seem there is no blue metalic yet. TT

Yes, I also booked blue matelic. SA said this week will get the car allocation list. Let see how.

told ya it was enjoyable hehe

Prius C Bodykit by TRD... Drools...
