09 White-Out Fuel-up Log

2009 Toyota Prius

Property of PRImptive Added Apr 2009

Showing fuel-ups and notes 1-30 of 43.

June 24, 2010

Long time since I logged in and updated my mileage. Prius has performed flawlessly,...no problems to date, except Toyota recall to shorten accelerator pedal. I haven't taken them up on that yet. Very glad that the cold weather is over,...Prius only hiccup is climate control,...cold weather puts too much demand on motor.

Computer logged 50.4 vs. actual. Fuel procured at SAMS with home top-off. Unusually cold weather for this time of year with temperature in single digits and w/c well below 0. Prius does NOT shine in cold weather,...as I suspected. Motor seems to run ALL of the time trying to keep engine at operating temp and supply necessary climate control needs. Very poor in snow and ice.

Very cold weather is on the way! I suspect the Prius will not fare well in very cold weather. Climate control appears to be its greatest negative. I did not use the A/C very much earlier in the year, which resulted in very good MPGs,....but the winter may prove a different matter. Engine appears to remain on a rich setting much longer, and definitely runs much more than in warmer weather. Definitely a weak cink in its armor.

Weather wasn't as cold during this past week,...and I drove the "white-out" like an old lady. However, driving like an old lady can get you killed in the world today,...so I will probably opt for a little more aggressive mode in the future. Have a Good Day out there!

Unusually cool weather has appeared to take its toll on the Prius's MPGs. Motor takes much longer to warm up, and appears to restart much more frequently. To its credit, I do mostly short trip driving with a 50/50 mix of urban/highway. Many more warm up cycles than a predominately highway driver.

I continue to top off tank at home, after fill-up at service station. Helps to give me more accurate MPG readings. I have had problems in the past with gas pumps cutting off prematurely,..thereby skewing MPG readings between fill-ups. Hopefully, this will provide more accurate mileage figures for "ole White-Out". Still believe cold weather is going to take its toll on the MPG's.

Good mileage figures for cooler weather, however still believe true winter weather may prove interesting for my Prius.

Colder weather is starting to work to the negative on my Prius's mpgs! Motor is running significantly more to meet heat requirements.

1st seg logged --- on current fill. A/C not used during this tank fill. Computer logged 56.6 vs. 55.2 actual. Fuel procured at SAMS with home top-off. Unusually cold weather for this time of year. I observed the motor running far more than in warmer weather (longer warm-ups and climate control needs). I suspect the winter will be hard on the Prius mpg's.

Began topping tank at home after fill at SAMS to guarantee consistency of tank fills. Gasoline used to top tank is added to total gallons used before computations. Vehicle continues to operate great.
