Claiming that the speed vs FE curves I posted are "baseline or control" would have been inappropriate - they are just what happened during my test. I did, however feel pretty confident in stating that both speeds above 50 and AC use "kills" FE.
Excellent! Where??

Compared to what has been published in the past, this is great. Look, I have no problem if someone posts different Prius data because it means there is something different that needs to be understood. Now if we get similar data, that is good too because it means two of us are seeing the same thing. That is how science works.
