It seems that the engine runs alot more and i cant use true EV as much because even a gentile touch on the gas starts the engine up. any other prius owners experiencing this ?? thanks . Dean

Dean, Looks like you and I are in the same boat... It just got cold a few days ago, and I had a really hard time getting my MPG to stay from dropping like Bush's approval rating. While its only 60ish... My tank that was enjoying life at 61.2 is now chilling at 58.4 and my driving has not changed much... I have read a post or two from people who made some modifications to help this problem. I might have to revisit those posts.
