#758 of 767 Re: 09-09-09 is my 9th [ruking1] by kdhspyder Sep 23, 2009 (7:38 pm)
Replying to: ruking1 (Sep 23, 2009 4:57 pm) Sorry this is to be filed with the 100 mpg carburator. IOW flim flam. If you can exceed everyone else's city performance then you need to sell it to VW because they can't get 44 mpg in a city driving environment.   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. Replies to this message: ruking1 (Sep 23, 2009 7:53 pm)

Let's not bring the diesel vs hybrid personal nonsense into yet another discussion.
#761 of 767 After Market GPS by vanderhorstg Sep 24, 2009 (7:31 am)
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?
#765 of 767 User Mileage Reports from EPA Web Site by bwilson4web Sep 27, 2009 (5:33 am)
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.   Bob Wilson Replies to this message: dewey (Sep 28, 2009 9:21 am)

Replying to: bwilson4web (Sep 27, 2009 5:33 am) Yes those figures support a conclusion that is very self-evident.   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.
