Prius (2010-12) Fuel :: What Does Cruising Range Actually Mean


Aug 22, 2014

Been driving around a lot trying to empty the gas tank in my new Prius and was wondering what the "Cruising Range" figure actually represents. Do the miles listed mean I have that many miles left until the tank is bone dry, or is that the range until the tank gets to the warning light?

Prius C Fuel :: Accurate Cruising Range Display?

How long did your car take to accurately display cruising range? I am on my first tank of gas, and even though my average is 54.5mpg, my cruising range is displayed as 380miles. That doesnt add up at all...

Prius C Fuel :: Cruising Range Drops When Gas Gauge Get Down To One Rectangle

Ok, had the prius c four for a few months now. What is up with the gas gauge? When I get down to one rectangle my cruising range drops to like 9 miles. I got gas and put in 8 gallons, which means I had 1.5 gallons still. Why is it showing such low cruising range mileage? Looked through the manuals by couldn't find anything useful. Also, is there a way to see exactly how much gas you do have? The rectangles seem a bit arbitrary to me when it comes to representing an actual amount of gas?

Prius (2010-12) :: How Accurate Calculation From Computer For The Cruising Range Left

How accurate is the calculation from the car's "computer" for the cruising range left?

In my experience from my previous vehicle. When my gas light would come on, I believe it generally meant that I had 2 gallons left in the tank before stranded.

Prius C :: Reset Cruising Range In Drive Info Screen?

Does the cruising range in the drive information screen NOT reset unless you fill the gas tank ALL the way up?

I just threw in a few bucks (well it's a Prius after all) and it still showed 0 as the range.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Cruising Range Feature In ODO Display Area Always Wrong

Is it just me or is the cruising range feature in the ODO display area useless?

GS 430 2006 - 6 months old-

Filled up today while on a 200 mile trip and the car, with a full tank, says 240 miles left.

If I have an 18 gallon tank, that would be about 13.3 miles per gallon when I am averaging above 20 on the highway.

Does the GS not recalculate this and update it or does it use a standard MPG? Is there some way to adjust this?

IS F (2008-2014) :: 2012 - Cruising Range On Full Tank Only 169 Miles?

Just bought a used 2012 IS-F 1-owner with 37k miles. Clean Carfax and AutoCheck - very, very clean car.

Test drove it with my wife, fell instantly in love, and signed the paperwork. As part of the dealer delivery, they gave a full tank of gas and washed/waxed the car.

While enjoying the 8 mile drive home in 5:00 traffic, regular speeds of 40-50 mph without any start/stop on the freeway and surface roads, I noticed that the range (distance to empty) on the full tank was only 169 miles!

I realize this is a hi performance V8 - but c'mon! Is there something wrong with the car?

Prius (Gen 3) Fuel :: Range Count Down Using EV?

I've had my P3 for a week and have really been working on getting the max MPG using tried and true techniques and I've settled at 53mpg on average for the week.

During my commute, there is a long stretch of downhill - almost 3 miles - where I never engage the ICE but I notice my range ticks off with each mile.

Prius C Fuel :: Cruising At 40 Mph - Stealth Mode Or Lightly Loaded ICE?

Conditions often allow me to choose between moderate to high current draw in stealth mode, or a lightly loaded ICE (<1300 RPM). How much power do you find it's best to allow in stealth mode before you decide to give the throttle a slap and fire up the engine?

Prius (Gen 3) Fuel :: Range Display Error?

So this is the second time that has happened to me.

I had 145 km range left on my tank.

I decided to fill up $12 of gas, my bar was at 2, it went up to half tank full, around 6 bars.

However, my range didn't go up, it still showed 145km left.

Now I'm driving and the range is down to 79km left, but I still have 4 bars left, usually at 79km I would only have 1 bar left.

Usually I have to refill up the full tank for the range to change and goes to 645km

Prius (Gen 3) Fuel :: MPGs Dropping From 51-53 To 44-47 Range In Cold Temps

Winter temps are dropping my mpgs from 51-53 mpg to the 44-47 mpg range. Snow, rain, slush puts drag on the car, as well as temps in the 20-40s causing the ICE to run more during warmup and during the 15 mile trip I make daily. Also mpgs in town on 1-3 mile trips are dropping into 29-33 mpg range. I guess the Prius isn't made to thrive in cold temps. I don't know if there is much I can do about it. I did remember to raise the pressures in my tires which has dropped also.

While most of the emphasis I've seen on improving fuel economy seems to focus on warming the car up quickly in cool/cold weather, I seem to be experiencing significant mpg drops at the other end of the spectrum.

Prius (2010-12) Fuel :: Single Cell Displayed In The Fuel Display

I am new to the prius 2010.

I filled up last week and I noticed that as soon as a single cell display in the fuel display part has some empty section like 3/4 fuel(single cell) the next day or after that that whole cell disappears without it showing that single cell as being empty.

Around which fuel cell, when displayed, is it important and recommended to fill up gas again, with one cell remaining or two etc.

Prius (2010-12) Fuel :: High Fuel Consumption While Coasting With Charge Available?

When I go out to do errands around town (I live right in town) I get horrendous gas mileage. Now, I understand gas mileage is high at the beginning of a trip, but for this long and this high and under these circumstances? I'm getting ABOVE 10l/100km when I have 80% charge available (for americans, that's disgustingly high MPG like, pick-up truck high), AND my foot is completely off the gas. Literally, coasting, or braking, and I'm still sucking up gas. What the heck?

Is this just because it takes a certain amount of time for the engine to run no matter what or something? I still don't see any reason for me to be eating up all that gas when my foot isn't even on the gas AND most importantly, I have charge available. Feels pointless for me to use my car for what I use it for 70% of the time, which is for quick errands around town at low speeds. Thought the prius was suppose to be a superstar for this kind of thing.

Prius (2010-12) Fuel :: One Bar Flashing Fuel Light

So my fuel light started blinking after 480 miles. How much more can I drive it? The display shows 30 miles left before fill up but I read in the manual that when the fuel light starts blinking there is 1.6 gallons left so should that be like 75 miles left. Just wondering. To be on the safe side, I went to fill up.

Golf/GTI VII :: Low Fuel Warning / Range 35 Miles

Yesterday I got the low fuel warning "Range 35 miles". I drove another 10 miles, then put 10.84 gallons in. That range warning seems really conservative, since the tank is 13 gallons. I wonder how many miles I *really* have after the car warns me. (I know it is affected by my speed, terrain, head winds, if AC is on, and so forth.) . Has to try driving til they ran out of gas after getting that low fuel warning?
