Thanks for the info about dealer reprogramming of the climate control. I certainly hope my local dealer does it for free, especially as I support their "boat payments" with servicing of three Toyotas.

A note on pulse and glide... I don't really do this in either the Prius or the TCH. I prefer a smoother, more consistent driving experience. What works best for me is to get up to speed limit fairly quickly from a stop and then back off the accelerator and maintain that speed. I'm still discovering the differences between the Prius and TCH, but in both cars this usually means that power is then supplied either from the engine and battery or battery alone. The TCH mpg meter responds to this situation with either an "E" or 60 mpg reading (if the engine is also providing power), and it glides for a long time (longer than the Prius from my observation) in this condition. Momentum seems to take the TCH much farther than the Prius, my assumption being that this is a factor of weight.
