It's not the kind of game that keeps you on the edge of your seat, but hey beat my high score!

I wonder if Pulse & Glide works in this simulator? I didn't use it, I just drove slow (39 MPH) in B to get high mileage, for about 26 hours. Dunno why B would get me better FE, maybe a bug or something, but at other speeds mileage goes down in B mode.

"B" mode is only different when gliding to a stop, as more braking force is applied. When accelerating, they're identical.

That's what I thought, so I wonder where the extra ~5 mpg comes from in this simulator when driving in B at 39 mph?

I noticed also that once you run out of gas you can turn the car off and on and it will magically charge the traction battery to 50% so you can drive another ~ 1/2 mile for free.

Someone should make a new one for the Prius II, source is available and the differences aren't massive.
