I have found the same thing as mentionned above that on certain days you can get outstanding mileage. I have seen the needle stay at around 4l/100 for long periods going about 80km/h on Zero Ave. Then the next day it won't do it. Conditions are similar but results are different.
I drive Chilliwack to Richmond BC everyday and average 5.9l on the display. I have found the display on my car to be very accurate, within 0.1l of measured consumption.

I'm assuming you were gliding? I P&G'd on Lougheed Highway (westbound out of SFU) to about the Willingdon Ave. I got 15 mins of 2.5L/100km averages (this is the Prius on the Consumption Screen). After Willingdon, the traffic builds so it's 4-5L/100km averages after that.

Basically I'm just looking for rough estimate without bring out the scientific measuring instruments how far the HV battery can take you at crawing speed (say ~2 to 3 feet per second).
Come to think of it... I think I would want to do this. Set up a baseline of my HV battery since my car is only 1 month old. That way I would know down the road if my HV battery have become deteriorated and not able to hold its charge.
Anybody wants to participate for some stats gathering? Need to setup some common grounds.
- Find yourself a empty parking lot in a mall (late in the evening is probably easier)
- Record your battery level
- Reset you trip meter, start your stop watch.
- Go around in a big big circles without hitting the brakes or the gas paddle (in a safe manner)
- When the ICE comes on record your travel and time.

Hmm, it'll be hard unless you have a Scan Gauge or CanView which gives you the SOC in %. If you rely on the screen, it's hard because the threshold at which the bars change is different going up and down (to avoid wild fluctutations if you're straddling the thresold).
