Can you tell us in detail how it is effecting for the average of Prius from 22km/liter to 15km/liter. and thanks, sure I'll use spacers for it.

in hot weather the average of every car deteriorates. The hot air is thin and carries lesser oxygen. This effects the air to fuel mixture, thus the efficiency reduces.

In case of hybrids in hotter climate the performance of the batteries deteriorates, it's charge retention reduces so it provides lesser input to move the car. so this plus the inefficiency of engine effects the overall average.

Hey everyone. We recently bought a Prius 2010 1.8L S package. It is a fabulous ride I mean drive, power, comfort everything is so amazing. I haven't heard from any one but the other day an uncle said to my dad that battery replacement for prius is around 2.5-3 lacs. We were very disappointed after hearing this. However i finally decided to put up a thread so that I can gain some expert views about battery replacement and its cost and that is it true? Please help in this regard. Although it is originally 53000 Km driven but one day it will be 150,000 Km when we will have to change the batteries.

Looking forward for the replies

You do not need to worry about the batteries these don't fail that easily. In the international market, Toyota warrants the batteries for 300000km or 8years (which ever occurs first). This was for the 2007 2008 models. in 2009 plus models the batteries are even improved. Also the price you mentioned is for the new batteries. I heard that refurbished batteries are also availalbe at around 100000

Correct, As hsnmz is saying, I am not sure about the 3rd generation but I have seen Kabli batteries in Bilal ganj for Rs 50k with one week guarantee. and after a year Prius will save you enough money on petrol to bear all the expenses you have to spend on it. Just cheers and enjoy your new ride. I really love the 3rd generation and perhaps I'll sell mine to have that one.

and as far as driving without ac is concerned i dnt usually drive it all time with ac most of the times in mornings i drive without ac on my way to my uni which is almost 30 kms away frm my home. and i guess it thus effect the millage bt very less.

still looking forward to more views of other fellow members on this issues

is it fine now with speed brakes ? and check out the video I have posted in the post number 479, it is also helping me to increase my average per liter.

[ayayconsultant]

I am practising according to the video of pulse and glide. My average was around 17.3km/liter after 124KM. and now it's around 22.7km/liter. It is really working and it's a cool feature of our car

You guys must watch this video I've posted in this post

I have Prius 2007. Using since June 2012.

Using FM modulator as it does not come with Aux-in port.

Is there anyway to have aftermarket Aux-In port? Because voice from modulator is pathetic.

Cost? Where from Lahore? Home much Time?
