Turn off Automatic Reseting of MPG on 2005 Prius?
by pdavid on Fri Jun 03 21:27:05 PDT 2005
Is there a way to turn off the automatic resetting of the mpg on the 2005 Prius every time you fill up. I recently traded in my 2001 Prius for a 2005 model and am very impressed with the improvements Toyota has made in the later model, but I don't like the way it automatically resets the mpg whenever you fill up with gas. On my 2001 model I hadn't reset the mpg for over 13,000 miles and my average was 44.6 when I traded it in. Now I need a pencil, paper and calculator to figure my mgp on a long trip. On a recent trip I went 544 miles without a low fuel warning before filling up and got 52.1 mpg. On that same trip I drove another 500 + miles (from Espanola NM to Liberal KS) and averaged 54.3 mpg. I really like the new Prius.

Well, one thing that ECHO does do is shimmy a little in a cross wind. But so did my 74 beetle and that would not stop me from driving one is NM! I don't think snow and rain would bother ECHO more than those things would any other car. Probably ECHO would do BETTER than your van in those conditions...yes definately. I think you should consider the other reasons to buy an ECHO in making a choice...good mileage....low price...made by Toyota...fun to drive. You also said you had "your heart set" on one...that's probably the best reason to buy something. ECHO is a very loveable car. I think you'll probably be able to deal with the wind thing. BTW I visited a friend in Espanola this past summer on my motorcycle trip. Beautiful country!

Looks like thomasc has already answered your question and I agree with him. Take it to the dealer. Maybe try another dealer if your current dealer has proven untrustworthy. The Espanola service people seem very nice. I've never needed to bring in my truck, but I went to talk to them to ask their advice on adding headers and cat-back dual-exhaust. I talked with the service manager and he was really helpful. By the way, my truck has a rough idle too. That appears to be a characteristic of the Vortec engines. Even the new 4.8L, 5.3L and 6.0L Vortecs are having that same "problem". Mine is hardly noticeable most of the time, but occasionally I'll really feel it. -powerisfun

I got it at Galles in Abq, at Santa Fe, and Espanola, they were trying to rob me. Same with Casa, but Galles was willing to work and they weren't trying to sell me a damn used one. Oh well, either way I got a heap of scrap, at least I didn't get taken too bad when I bought it. I drive like you, just let it open up a little going up the hill into Santa Fe. There really must be a problem with mine, the hills to Los Alamos are far steeper and more of them than to Santa Fe and your truck seems to be putting mine to shame as far as Gas mileage! Thanks

I live in Espanola and commute to Los Alamos. I got my truck at Valencia Motors in Espanola. Is that where you got yours or did you get it in Santa Fe? I don't think the gas is the problem anywhere in NM. Anyway, that mileage does sound extremely low and there probably is something wrong. I wonder if it is fixable. Anyway, I drive fairly conservatively most of the time. I pretty much follow the speed limit or go up to 5 mph over. I do lay on the pedal at least once per trip going up the hills into Los Alamos. I don't floor it, but the rpms go up to about 3000...enough to make the engine roar. Then on the way back, I do the same thing up the hill onto SR-30. I just do that because I think it's good for an engine to open up a bit especially when the rest of the trip is just cruising at 1800 rpm the whole time...It's also pretty fun! Sorry to hear that your experience hasn't been the same as mine. I love my truck and I'm hoping to keep it for 10+ years. Did you take it to the dealer to have it checked? If you really do like the truck like you say, it might be worth it. It could be something as simple as a replacing a sensor and you could be getting 19 mpg. I don't think the oil thing is that big of a problem, but it's up to you. Well, good luck in selling it if that's what you decide. -powerisfun
