i bought a hybrid to not hyper mile... My tips to drive a hybrid fast: -Switch to normal mode, use ECO mode only in traffic and parking lots -Smash the gas pedal to get up to speed, and release the paddle enough to keep the desired speed -Always drive in SPORT MODE on high ways, when driving at the speed limit the car will recharge the battery fast -Only over take when the battery is full, this way you get max power -When approaching a tight turn, shift to B And lightly break for max regen, you need all the battery to quickly accelerate out of a turn -Turn off TCC, your hybrid has a battery in the back, it can do scandy flicks without a hand break (only if you know how to do them) enjoy

[@csguak]

Yup. Now they make em very robust. I drive like a maniac, but its still a way better mileage than regular gasoline car. Once you taste the instant torque of AWD with electric motor, there is no going back.

I replaced my 2007 Highlander Hybrid with a 2017 Highlander Hybrid, and I've been using these techniques for many years. To my pleasant surprise I'm consistently getting 10-15% BETTER mileage than the car's EPA estimates! With my 2007 I never a once got a tankful at more than 30.0 MPG. But with this car I haven't gotten a tankful BELOW 30 MPG yet! I'm routinely getting 31-32 MPG, well above the EPA estimates.

[@CMDR_Birb]

I'm getting below epa on my 2019 Camry hybrid

[@Rhaman68]

Paul Witkowski Sorry but 10 years later you are happy to have about the same mpg performance of a new vehicle?

[@Rhaman68]

Tabish Syed which level of trim do you drive and are you familiar with the many modes available in the car like Eco Mode? The car is only as good as the driver. Speeding is the No.1 cause of fuel economy followed by fast acceleration and rushing red lightsaber/stop signs. Very common US driver habits.

[@germanborgesxrt]

[@YourMajestyTheKing]

idling is the best part of a hybrid. it shouldn’t be discouraged

[@MylesV]

It's discouraged because the car uses the battery power to run the electronics, AC, etc. while stopped and by turning the car off more battery power can be used for driving. They aren't saying you can't idle, but that idling will reduce your fuel economy. Of course the decrease won't be nearly as much as in a traditional vehicle at least.

[@YourMajestyTheKing]

@Jesus Love you have never driven a hybrid. Hybrid engines don't run when idle

[@maiynm310]

My prius had Hybrid technology!

[@gogutzy]

Auris MY15 Euro - best mpg 65.7 mpg or 3.58 l/100 km - how? 100% Eco Mode, always use the battery between 40% and 80%, always keep the needle at the half of the first eco section (on electricity or gas) always park your car with 40% battery life if there's a lot of accelerating and braking involved, use the battery between 80% and 90%.

[@khalidmostafa2055]

Are there car addons that successfully reduce air drag?

[@lordrefrigeratorintercoole288]

all modern cars are designed with max aero in mind. dont add anything and if you have the original toyota roof rack, always remove it if you dont need it. it has only 2 keys and itr easy AF to remove, and you can store them in the back of your toyota. they weight like 2kg or something which is nothing.

[@nopaew]

Hey Toyota, My name is Marcos. I'm a Brazilian and a big fan of your vehicles. I wish to be your 'Guinea Pig' customer for your next generation of the hybrid technology vehicles. I live 30 kilometers away from work, between highways and urban roads (Sao Paulo traffic jam), which makes a total of 60 kilometers per day. This would be quite an opportunity for the company to test the efficiency of Toyotas hybrid powetrains in the most heaviest daily test ever made. Therefore, I would gladly take this opportunity to be the very first civilian 'tester', in Brazil, of any future project of Toyota's vehicles. Regards Marcos Silva

[@toyotaprius79]

I think you'd have better luck contacting Toyota Brazil rather than commenting here man. Try and look for a Prius Prime, could be good. But if you're in South America, then you'd have a better chance of finding a Renault Zoe.

[@romansten9]

I just bought my Prius. yes, seems to piss other drivers off, I'm not supposed to use my heat and AC, cruise eats mileage too, have to put all my concentration into the special way to drive and not lose focus for a second, which pisses ME off. lol. If I just relax and drive it like a non hybrid, I dont know if Id get over 35 mpg. my old Escort gets that no matter how I drive, 80 mph with AC on and I'm totally relaxed driving it. Paid $500 for the Escort with new tires! $5500 for the Prius that I can't figure out how to really relax in (yet)!

[@craearagon]

you're overthinking it dude.. I drive normal and get 65mpg.

[@ruddyb9680]

I don't know if I am driving it wrong but so far is consuming more gas than my regular gas I drive 60 Miles to go to work and full tank only last like 4 trips in order for me to add more gas . I am not happy and I just do under 65 on the interstate.

[@bjsimon802]

it amazing what Toyota hybrid can do. My prius is suppose to average 50mpg, but I can easily get over 100mpg in the summer. Highest I have got his 117Mpg. Some people have got well over 150mpg. Very happy with mine, I will buy one again.

[@Nach0ooLibre]

i call b.s.

[@rncondie]

Unless your Prius is a plugin there is no way you can average 100 mpg. I drove my daughters Prius c in a traffic jam on the freeway and made few complete stops. I coasted when I saw tail lights ahead and I accelerated like an egg was under my foot and I managed 65 mpg while in the slowed traffic on the freeway which was about 45 minutes. There is no way I could have pushed it to 100 mpg. I was driving 5 to 15 mph for 45 minutes with very few complete stops.

[@lasselasse2440]

On individual routes it is 100% possible to achieve over 100 mpg. It looks different over a complete tank. I drive a Corolla 1.8 Hybrid. My best fuel economy over a 12.5 mile trip was 102.26 mpg. And there it was a few ft uphill for the entire distance. My last full tank of gas was 65.33 mpg for 687 miles. My record for a full tank is 67.19 mpg.

[@dukesim6088]

Pulse and Glide is described in the wrong way. Some instructions in the video are the opposite of saving fuel. You have to accelerate with the engine, not with the electric motor. From stop this is a relatively strong acceleration. Then you can coast electric only. Taking off slowly just wastes the valuable electric energy in the battery, instead of using the engine directly. The dedicated EV-Mode accessed through the EV-Button is for short drives around the block only and is a comfort feature, not a fuel saving feature.

Yes when you first buy a Prius, it runs the engine as much as it possibly can to break it in.

I thought riding the brakes in a hybrid helps charge batteries

[@Appletank8]

nnno, that's generally not recommended. During regular driving, the engine will charge the battery if it detects it is getting low. You don't have to worry about the change just dropping, the car will take care of it. Brake like you normally would. The only reason you might want to force charge an engine is if you really want to crank the battery from 2 bars to 6 bars, and you do that by holding the car stationary and tapping the throttle until the engine turns on.
