I sent my car to wash yesterday to find out that the lower metal bar's paint just beneath the doors were forming like... bulging bubbles. I really dunno how to describe it, but when u feel them with your hands, it's like bulging bubbles. Wonder if this happened to any of yours PC. I would share the pic soon later and also send my PC to Toyota to ask if they could do something about it.

QUOTE(aragongon @ Feb 1 2013, 12:13 PM) No, none of them. You notice the gap at the middle of the green bar? It is the battery power/electricity cut off line, once your pedal is above that gap, petrol engine kick in. Thus you feel it is much easier to pass through that line while you are at 70km/h compared to 10km/h. hmmm...need to observeIf you always maintain your pedal below that gap, petrol will never kick in till battery low and auto kick in for recharge. It is good to monitor the pedal level all the time for the better FC, but it is also a distraction to keep your sight from the road. Safety first ya. |

QUOTE(ronaldwmh @ Jan 31 2013, 10:55 PM) hmm just now i was trying to tail gate a Audi A4 on MEX, but i found my car was harder to go up 180km/h anymore compare to last time ( 3 months ago). I am using toyota full sync now. I heard engine sound quite loud. Any1 experience on this? Can share you top speed experience? I used to drive around 80-85km/h. These few days my feet are heavy, around 90-100km/hr and I do notice engine sound quite loud. Not sure if that is normal or something wrong. |

QUOTE(Kiding @ Feb 1 2013, 03:47 PM) I think when the EV light on, then you are on battery, if the EV light is not on, that means petrol engine is running. I have different experience. My FC went down. I can see it dropped from 28km/l to 26km/lRecently I found out if I accelerate faster when going up hill, it is more fuel saving, I think because of the electric motor assist so it actually save more fuel. my past few days FC can reach 30KM/L because I change my driving habit to accelerate faster during pickup. |

QUOTE(conqu3ror @ Feb 2 2013, 02:49 PM) Yes stuck in traffic jam the FC can be terrible, probably 15km/l and less. If city drive with lot of junction, then you don't even have much chance to charge the battery full. Seems that few of you think that pc still has better FC compare to conventional car during jam. I have not done such analysis before but somehow I feel that pc is not suitable in bad traffic area like KL city as the fuel will be consumed to charge the battery.Try imagine for conventional engine car, their FC could even worst as they keep idle and use more fuel when move when jam.

Actually it still save just do this to compare on my previous satria 1.6 I have once put it in stationery with engine n air cond running 5 hours later half tank gone with Prius on U.S some let it run for few days to use it as generator . |

I have not done such analysis before but somehow I feel that pc is not suitable in bad traffic area like KL city as the fuel will be consumed to charge the battery. Do not trouble yourself to do the analysis as there were few organisations that already done the tests with reliable reports and analysis such as EPA. In its latest report, Prius C recorded 53mpg for city driving and 46mpg for highway driving ... which is the top fuel efficient car excluding electric vehicles and plugin hybrids. It still need to charge the battery while stuck in traffic jams but in overall it is still consuming less fuel than conventional gasoline engine cars. |
