"So it can take off from the lights quite briskly. It's at higher speeds 110kph and above where it starts to lack power."
It depends upon the battery depletion. It supplies power at all speeds.

55 mpg! Wow. I average about 65 mph on traffic-free highway driving and I'm only getting 46 mpg in my 2004 Prius. I'm also having battery troubles, though... so I guess it's time for a service.
Thanks for the info! btw - I put a bunch of interesting stuff on this website. I think it's a good way to get people to see the light and drive a hybrid. Check it out:
