Replying to: rdeschene (Dec 23, 2005 2:21 pm) Funny you should mention that, rdeschene, because Toyota is creating a Camry Hybrid that will be released in Fall 2006. They will release more information on it, and on the regular Camry whose redesign comes out in Spring 2006, on January 9th.   The Hybrid will mate the Hybrid Synergy Drive to the normal 2.4L 158-hp inline-4. Unofficial specs are here and photos (of probably the SE) are here. Replies to this message: hybrid04prius (Jan 01, 2006 2:23 pm)

Replying to: hchinsandiego (Jan 01, 2006 1:44 pm) Hmmm Maybe it is time to upgrade. I wonder what the tax credit will be on the Camry.

I'm a prius owner and my mpg has drastically fallen! Is anyone else experiencing this? The Toyota dealer can't seem to repair it for me. .

Replying to: ninanina (Jan 02, 2006 8:17 pm) Cold weather effects mileage. I did read that the latest software upgrade may take some time to stabilize the mileage over a few tanks. I test drove an 06 this past weekend. It was in the 40's and during my test drive, I got 47.7. Very impressed!!!

#45 of 769 Help buying a 2006 Prius by ontheqt Jan 03, 2006 (12:51 pm)
I'm searching for a dealer to purchase a 2006 Prius from & it's been quite interesting. Most are nice, but some are attempting the $3000 markup. I've been told there is a waiting list at some dealers, while others have them in stock but very limited and the wrong color. Any good experiences out there for purchases in the last month in Southern California??? And if so, Where?? Thanks!

Replying to: donzi81 (Jan 03, 2006 11:39 am) Weather schmeather!! I am getting about 30 miles per gallon in my prius. The toyota dealer couldn't repair the problem and sent me packing. What to do? Is anyone else experiencing this? Replies to this message: donzi81 (Jan 05, 2006 5:30 am)

Replying to: ontheqt (Jan 03, 2006 12:51 pm) Just bought one on 1/3/06 at Power Toyota in Irvine. Excellent service. MSRP only, no markup, no extra add-on equipment. They don't have any Prius in stock. Put your name down, and they call you as soon as they get one. Got ours in one week. Ask for Bennett in the fleet dept. Longo Toyota in El Monte takes order on (3-month) waiting list. $500 deposit. Also no markup or add on. Good luck. Replies to this message: looking4prius (Jan 04, 2006 3:04 pm)

Replying to: aaav (Jan 04, 2006 8:44 am) I'm on the waiting list at Longo...shouldn't be more than a month, now. Why Longo? They had Prius available for a test drive. No such luck in Irvine. It does take time, that is sure, and one has to remain patient...

Replying to: ninanina (Jan 03, 2006 4:06 pm) Bring it back to the dealer or another dealer. Something sounds definitely wrong. Maybe trade it for a Camry?
#50 of 769 Hybrid Mileage = Robbing Peter to Pay Paul by jaxs1 Jan 05, 2006 (3:00 pm)
So, the hybrid car runs on battery power or a mix of battery and gas during certain conditions. During this period you get excellent fuel economy. Later the battery drains and the gas motor has to recharge it by using extra fuel. Now you are back to not-so-great mileage until the battery recharges again. This is like running a car a/c with the engine off and concluding that proves the a/c doesn't use fuel. The battery has to get it's energy from somewhere. I doubt regenerative braking is a major energy source.
