hydrogen is not easy to transport and is not a popular fuel tech. Toyota is one of the ONLY manufacturers and they sell very few. Toyotas hybrid tech is very good through.
I remember back in 2001 when Toyota had the EcoSpirit3 which was a diesel-electric hybrid that averaged 101 MPG. For whatever reason they shelved it and released the Toyota Prius which only averaged 50-60 MPG.
I had a 1994 Geo Metro that averaged 55 mpg in San Diego driving. When I moved to Wichita the following year, I averaged 67 mpg between Flagstaff and Albuquerque. It held over 10 gallons, giving me a range of close to 600 miles before refueling. I loved that car.
They were great.. I used one as a courier car.. put 100K on it in ONE year. Beat the hell out of it.. never let me down. The interior.. was pretty crap on it. But powertrain was amazing. But 50hp in a 1200 lb car.. in an accident not great results. These new cars are much heavier have a lot more power, and are more fuel efficient.
Yes of course.. I drive it relatively decent , I don't drive too slow but feathering the pedal helps. I mostly drive on 'eco mode' as well so that helps quite a bit when it comes to the use of gas. I also found that if I get up to speed and slightly let off the pedal ,while maintaining pressure, that the hybrid battery would kick on and shut off the engine and help me coast for as long as it can further saving gas. Toyota is definitely the way to if you're looking for a gas sipper. Horse power is definitely the down side when it comes to some of their models. I wish they would find a way to bump that up a bit but I guess that's just something you'd have to sacrifice.
@stardust but going in downhills and before uphills, should put down more power to get more speed . the fast your going, the more power down will be not so bad for effiency . dont want to power down too much or too less though, should tend to be more at area between eco and power range at flat road. a road incline meter would be nice ,some off roaders have thsi like some tacomas, g wagon, land rover range rover sorta thing
I should've NEVER sold my Prius...! Mine had 150,000 + miles on it and Carvana at the time paid me $5,000 for it. Huge mistake on my end! Prius is the BEST car in the world bar none...!!
Oh yeah, I'm on my 6th Prius now, a 2024. After the car is truly broken-in nicely, between 5,000-6,000 miles, you will begin noticing an increase in fuel mileage. I mean, noticeable increase. The Prius is the perfect car, for families, touring, commuter, under-cover work, drug smuggling, escape, efficiency, cruiser. You name it, it can pretty much do it all within reason. I wouldn't do a Paris-Dakar Race with the Prius. Or maybe the awd version would do okay, I don't know.
Love my Prius. I bought it in 2023 after a six month wait. Right now I'm breaking in my wife's new Corolla Cross Hybrid. An SUV averaging 43MPG! But I miss my Prius. I prefer that over my 911. For different reasons of course.
I knew Wayne 20 years ago from Insight Central when we were driving first gen Insights. He was always the best hypermiler of all of us and was friendly and helpful and always shared his tips. I am glad to see he has driven on to great things.
I owned a 2000 Honda insight which was the first hybrid production vehicle in the United States. People were getting over 100 mpg. I drove mine from Denver to Topeka with one tank of gas with two bars leftover. How you drive your car can effect your efficiency, a lot. I now own a Prius c which is great especially for uber.
😂😂 Yall need to stop. 69.8 in a camry sure. I consistently get 44.3 MPG and in my 25 Camry. Know when I just get gas it says some wonky high MPG but eventually after a few miles goes to 43-44

Why we obsess so much on mpg I will never understand mathematically
@@adanmortur better mileage, much cheaper and easier to replace, and better in snow. Also the smaller wheel can have more side wall which is better for potholes. I get so many potholes in my city.
its doable even on older Prius Prime... just recently I traveled 2000 miles with 3 people in the car, air-conditioning on, doing around 70-75 miles per hour--- yet my average was 70 MPG.... if I would reduce the speed to 60 miles per hour I could get that realistically to 78 MPG
I drive a 2019 Prius hybrid. In the summer I have had times when I could get 1200 to 1400 miles on a tanks of gas. Once I got 1700 miles. The trick is not driving 55-65 miles per hour on the interstate. Drive 50 miles per hour or lower, use gas mode to start and get to speed you want. Change to EV while driving. Let off on gas when you see a stop light and time it so you don't come to a complete stop. Always, always start off slowly. You have a dashboard monitor that tells you how your driving is doing. It's a bit of a game that rewards you with good mileage. Oh, in the winter the milage is less. Usually 800 or 900 miles to a tank of gas. Still, I think a Prius is the best car on the road!
Damn, I thought there was some breakthrough on the hybrid tech. 118 is the mpg record for a driver on a late 80's Honda Crx which was just gas. Just saying, CRX is a boss mpg beast that can keep up with hybrids.
@someoneyoudontknowtrades 60kmh?. In usa everyone drives around 120 kmh on highways. And 40 kmh in normal streets. Primus can do 2.5l/100km with speed 70 mph = 120kmh. I lived whole my life in Europe and recently moved to usa. Europe is small.
I have the Prius SE trim and do 65 miles a day, speed is set at 62mph and my average mpg is 75, what a gas sipper, and that's not even trying to hipper mile it, just letting the car do all the work
I always liked the Prius. Not for it's looks until now. Well done Wayne! No one needs a 5,000 lbs EV with 500 hp, pretending to safe the planet! LOL. I am old school and I usually drive my cars with better mpg as rated. Sometimes I like to step on too. In the past I've been into racing. Mountain road racing in Italy or slalom. Many cars form the 80's are taking place in these races. Nothing beats weight with some hp!
So I have a Lexus hybrid and in order to obtain great gas mileage, you need to drive super slow off the line and consistent while on the move, carefully making sure to not pass the power rev line. Of course, everyone behind you are super pissed off at you, and violently swerving around you. You will get the occasional middle finger or yelling, but mostly deadly stares.
@@Michaelthearcheangel After much research I’ve confirmed that…there’s no clear answer. It was either a 2023 or 2024 Prius…but the likely reason it isn’t specified is because it doesn’t matter. Both years are identical from a mechanical/technical basis. Either year would have delivered the same MPG under these circumstances.
I have had the 2024 Prius prime XSE for about 6 months now. The car keeps getting better and better as I drive it. I get 45 to 50 miles all electric with the battery fully charged. MPG for the gas ranges from 40 (high altitude) to 60 (flat surface and going with the wind at ocean elevation). The only things I would change are I wish I had the 17 inch wheels for better MPG, and better sound insulation. The sound insulation is good but could be better, like Camry level. Overall, great car and I have already put 10,000 miles on it. With electric and gas combined, I get around 100 mpg with combined city driving and work driving.

they learned their lessons and 4th gen Prius tuck the cat really deep inside. These cats are immediately follow after the exhaust manifold each side. They are no longer exposed for a quick cut like 2nd and 3rd gen.
Another way to get higher MPG: Weight reduction: 1. Decrease the car body weight (Carbon fiber hood and body) ; 2, Decrease the person body weight (Carb free diet) or change of Ethnicity.
Actually not. Bought a Kia EV6 in 2022, 30,000km since averaging between 16kWh/100km and 22kWh/100km (when temp below freezing). The equivalent in fuel would be around 1.9l/100km to 2.6l/100km (1l of fuel contains approx. 8,6kWh of energy).

Probably the most annoying aspect of car ownership these days, especially Prius ownership…
They suck for tall people.
they learned their lessons and 4th gen Prius tuck the cat really deep inside. These cats are immediately follow after the exhaust manifold each side. They are no longer exposed for a quick cut like 2nd and 3rd gen.
Insight manual by Honda will over 100 mph
W a FoMoCo IMA pack and all the aero & other hyper-mods, etc: I bet a G1 MT Insight could smash this record
I own this car. It's awesome. But I don't hypermile. I've gotten 90MPG around town.
The Prius does so many things well. And fuel efficiency potential is scary high.
they should call it guinness book of european records as byd launched hybrid last year that gives you 125 miles/gallon or 1553 miles on single fill.
Then this would only cost me $ 3.54 for 1 gallon to drive to and back from work . This would be great 👍 .
My right foot is too heavy for this...
My next car to commute to work😁
2011 Skoda Fabia "GreenLine" station wagon makes 107 mpg.
Ya but what's its smug emissions like?
Crikey id love to see what this guy can do with a Tesla model 3 with a rated 146 mpge.
Are you talking Prius PHEV?
No, a base LE (not Prime).
Another way to get higher MPG: Weight reduction: 1. Decrease the car body weight (Carbon fiber hood and body) ; 2, Decrease the person body weight (Carb free diet) or change of Ethnicity.
More efficient than an EV
Actually not. Bought a Kia EV6 in 2022, 30,000km since averaging between 16kWh/100km and 22kWh/100km (when temp below freezing). The equivalent in fuel would be around 1.9l/100km to 2.6l/100km (1l of fuel contains approx. 8,6kWh of energy).
This dude tailgates behind a big rig to reduce wind friction. There's the secret.
I wonder what the worst mpg a new Prius could get?
they did a great job and didn't even use easy aero tricks like covers the rear wheels or using full hub covers
That's the point.
the le version does use mostly closed black wheel covers
The Prius isn't a car, it's an alien space ship 👽🛸
Someone needs to clarify if this is the Prime and or AWD. I assume its just the FWD, non Prime Hybrid SE.
Was not a Prime. A base Prius LE.
Volkswagen made a 200+ mpg car once
The XL1 - such a cool car.
It's a shame it was a ridiculously expensive car that could hardly be daily driven. It was great tho.
It must have been top speed from start to finish
