Hi Guys:

___When the 04 Prius was EPA tested, the Prius was running in EV mode for > 50% of the city test. The EPA’s city test is too short to take the fully charged to normal SOC pack out of the equation from my understanding.

___I know at least ~ 56.9 mpg is doable in an urban environment in 30 degree temps (using the game gauges again) but while doing so, I was driving well below real world speed limits and traffic conditions as I was driving in neighborhoods to get the speed and acceleration down to that level of mileage performance. The other Insighter I was with hit 57.x mpg via the instantaneous on his segment but of course the car had ~ 7 minutes of warm up time after my drive to help him along

___Good Luck
