#53 of 3943 '05 gauges similar to Prius? by ssachnoff Jan 28, 2004 (8:16 pm)
Maybe some Prius owners from the other boards can tell us if that left gauge is on their dashboards, too.
#54 of 3943 Gauge by 2003tls Jan 29, 2004 (3:19 pm)
Maybe it has something to do with either the battery power left, or how much it is using at the time. It is a big gauge so it must be important.
#55 of 3943 good point by jchan2 Jan 29, 2004 (4:34 pm)
it could be the amount of the battery left.
#56 of 3943 guage by dgrayson Jan 29, 2004 (5:27 pm)
Well, good speculation all...   Here is an attachment of an article in the Chicago Sun-Times. Apparently it is the battery life , as it replaces the tachometer.   Good article: http://www.suntimes.com/output/padgett/car-news-nina26.html
#57 of 3943 that guage by john1701a Feb 01, 2004 (7:37 pm)
That is an electricity indicator, showing active transfer.   The charge-level indicator is on the Energy Monitor screen of the Multi-Display. Within the battery there, you'll see bars appear and disappear as well as change color.   JOHN
#58 of 3943 Gas Price by maltbread Feb 02, 2004 (12:22 pm)
The price of $1.50 a gal. does not apply in the Bay Area and not in most of the developed world. Toyota develops cars for the WORLD not just the USA. Of course many people here (and that includes GM) think the USA = The World. Hence the World Series. The real price of gas should also include the cost of the wars to defend the supply. It also not simply whether the supply is there. Moving it around and burning it does not do us much good and neither does the huge imbalance in trade caused by inporting oil. Hybrids make sense for the good of the country but not possibly yet for an individual. One attraction for me is the range you can drive and the safety afforded by having more than one motor Toyota sells a hybrid minivan in Japan.
#59 of 3943 Worldwide gas prices by 2003tls Feb 04, 2004 (11:25 am)
True. Most of the US pays $1.25 - $1.75 per gallon of gas. Most of Europe pays $4.00/gallon or more. Gas is expensive in Asia too. Toyota and Honda are perfecting hybrid technology to use worldwide, not just in the U.S. I, for one, am glad they are doing it.

some urban areas have higher gas prices than smaller cities.
#61 of 3943 thanks for the link by ssachnoff Feb 04, 2004 (2:45 pm)
D. Grayson, thanks for the link to the Chicago Sun Times article about the HH and Lexus Hybrid and its gauges and performance. The info about the increased "peppiness" between 30-50mph was particularly interesting and exciting. I am looking forward to checking out the vehicle in person at next week's Chicago Auto Show.   Everyone, as articles relating to the HH are discovered please continue posting links to them in this discussion.
#62 of 3943 Highlander Hybrid by jchan2 Feb 04, 2004 (2:48 pm)
I wonder how much over the current sticker they'll charge.
