Replying to: ruking1 (Sep 23, 2009 4:57 pm) You only get 44 mpg in the City in a TDI by pushing it part way ... in Neutral ... with the ignition OFF. You do yourself a disservice by exagerating. 300 miles is at best anecdotal if the results were even close to being accurate. Preach to the choir.

I'm thinking about buying a simple GPS unit for my 2006 Prius, and am wondering if there are any battery/power drain issues that I should be concerned about. Also, any recommendations? I don't need one with lots of bells & whistles, but may consider one with hands-free cell phone capability.

Forget Real World Prius MPG numbers Let's forget this whole forum. Instead how about a new fourm called "Prius MPG Real World Numbers Compared to Ruking's Golf TDI unbeatable MPG numbers and Always Unbeatable Numbers? How's that for a new Forum Title? OK maybe not? |

One of the good things about the EPA mileage web site, www.fueleconomy.gov is the collected MPG by vehicles: 40.2 MPG - 16 Jetta TDI owners, manual (2009 data) 40.3 MPG - 24 Jetta TDI owners, automatic (2009 data) 51.6 MPG - 46 Prius 2010 owners, automatic (2010 data) Statistically, we have enough user reports to have confidence in the reported values.

Replying to: bwilson4web (Sep 27, 2009 5:33 am) But not evident enough to indicate that if I drove a VW TDI my figures would be significantly lower due to me driving mainly in stop and go city traffic. While my Prius gets great mileage whether I drive in stop and go traffic or the highway. In otherwords with my Prius great mileage is not as dependent on what routes I travel on as with a VW TDI. |
