welcome to prius c kelab

sweeeet

i cant access the poll , some permission issue cos i using company.

anyway if pj area, one of the good places with ample parking is in sea park Giant that side. there is AL ESFAN mamat shop same row as O&S which has ample parking. the other is of course at the Giant mamak itself, ample parking available.

no, its in sea park near sek 19 umw toyota.

jalan 20/14

my best advise, no need think so much. there will never be one location that everyone can go, i organise a lot of gathering de. fb prius club alrd into its 8th or 9th TT session liao.

hold a first one somewhere.

then a second, then third. ppl will come one.

dun mix TT session wif photoshoot.

easy thing to do, gather at hiway rest stop like kesas Awan besar. plenty of parking, can minum teh also.
central PJ can goto sea park. KL can go another place. putrajaya good for foto but its definitely out of way for most ppl.

so timeonce, since u TS pls have the honours of arranging the first TT.

from nissan leaf experience of local user:



thats about 20.7km/L given 1.90 per litre for petrol equivalent. i thought ev was much better? of course i believe the 361kwh uses much less fossil fuel than what our cars are drinking now.

how long did the map update take?


i checked up some internet info that says 1kwh uses 0.0016 barrels (42 gallon/barrel) of residual fuel oil. so the leaf uses 361kwh ~ 92 litres to travel the 1785 km. sounds wrong to me, maybe i am looking at a wrong source.

sounds more sensible that way.
but the cost to end user at the moment is rm164. the savings is to the oil not to user.

even more sensible if they revise to 2litre hybrid including mpv
then prius v/+ can comein liao

today i manage to get my best fc 28.4km/L on a 40km route, took 1 hour.
my best fc so far but the condition was crawling traffic jam for 30 mins for 3km.

wanted to take pic of fc but my fon is so slow by the time i on the camera the dispaly off liao.

the sad thing is, i checked some electricity tariffs worldwide on wikipedia and we are not exactly expensive, plenty of countries more expensive than us incl developed nations. we are at about USD0.14, i see a lot places over USD0.20 also

this is not a good future for plug in ev at the moment.

i will try to see how to get it when i switch it on again

you need to test for urself on the features you want - comfort, power, kit level, fuel consumption, what is it that is most important to u

insight has been around for a while alrd in the market, pc is fresh out of the 2012 oven. hybrid synergy drive is diff tech than honda's ima resulting in significant FC difference.

today i take the PC on my work route.
No AC (hot!).
No radio.
40 km route with about 36km of highway (stretches of 28km,3km,5km or so, not many flat straights)
mostly hover at 60-70kmh and got about 50% ev usage.

bestest effort for me, 33.1km/L

no way i can mantain this for one tank, cos the way home is afternoon sun and if no AC sure dieded one.

Drove home 40km and got 32.1kml. no ac in afternoon sun lol.
Had trouble keeping battery charged more due to high ev usage.

proton exora my dear. or if youre really hardcore, kia pregio.



i dun think its hot target considering its quite expensive in the region and as a city car not hugely popular also, its still new car and most ppl will be servicing in official toyota channel for the next few yrs.

uh, default PC no TPMS. are you refer to aftermarket?

the rating for Honda hybrid is about 44mpg in US, which they are being sued for becos consumer find it barely achievable. thats about 19 kml. I guess 20 is possible with some hypermiling method used. but to get 600+ km on rm60 is quite tall, u probably need to drive entire tank with ac off.

in any case, most of the H hybrids i see all tekan accel like no trmw one. wonder why they even chosed the hybrid.

i dont think it will help if u live in klang and i tell u the best is in gombak rite....

just see the ones near/convenient to u, the bigger ones. so far i use kota damansara, subang, pj sek14, balakong all also ok. fyi i dropoff car.

i dunno why but i get slightly annoy when a PC overtakes me. i'm like, "dude, use EV mode lah! why drive so fast!"

actually i not into FC ROI, just want to get some good figures for a feelgood factor and pleasant drive.

i think those aunty driver their pc nvr masuk ev mode before lol.
