The consumption is impressive but from the average speed looks like it's driven more inside town. It's even more than rated. How's the combined consumption for like more of highway speed.?

Only the op can tell us exactly how many litres he used for the journey, so that we can do the math and decide whether the mpg is worth the hybrid stress.

DevilishMan:
So how dat ekuke OP take achieve that MPG?
That kind of MPG means he didn't use up to 5 litres for the whole journey.

Unlike fully electric cars, the battery in hybrid vehicles isn't the car's primary power source.. It just compliments the normal petrol engine to achieve better fuel economy...

The hybrid battery charges while braking under normal driving conditions

buygala:
If the hybrid battery or something in the hybrid system gives way in the bush, the online forum members will come fix the vehicle yeah?..

For context Sir, please tell us how much a brand new OEM hybrid battery pack for your vehicle is in naira presently Sir.

DevilishMan:
Hybrid, so, yes.

Not electric like a Tesla that charges via designated electric outlets..

I think the Prius hybrid battery charges via regenerative braking while driving.. I might be wrong though

That guy wey I ask for up whether na brand new OEM or toks battery dem call for am 150k never reply me till now ....

Buying a fairly used hybrid battery is like buying a fairly used pant.... You have no idea what diseases you are inheriting from the previous owner... One can't tell what life expectancy to get from such.. Whether they were harvested from flooded cars or those with compromised charging systems which have significantly diminished the battery life, etc..

If course, Nigerian Hybrid battery dealers will tell you how they have tested and confirmed the integrity of every battery cell in the 2nd hand pack they are selling... Same shady-speak language of 2nd hand inverter battery sellers... It's all tested OK until it isn't anymore ... You get what you pay for... To thy tent o Isreal

If I am in Nigeria and in pursuit of fuel economy, I will get a Civic, Yaris or Insight, or a brand new Hybrid.. Of course anyone who can afford a brand new hybrid in Nigeria of today is too rich to be particularly concerned with fuel economy..

Make I buy 2nd hand hybrid for naija make d moto come get problem for Akoko-Akure Express.. Then I am stuck between allowing Musbau finger the moto based on Insha Allah or tow the vehicle from that bush to maybe Ibadan or even Lagos where I might get a semblance of a sane hybrid mech... Nahh.. Thank you Sir.

I underhand say una dey follow the doings of one mecho for here wey dey get nice mpg with im Prius.. Una dey see im MPG and e dey sweet una .. What you guys fail to consider is that he is a mech, so he can fix his hybrids himself and knows where he can source his parts way cheaper.. Of if he is that kind of mech, he can even swap his car's dead parts with those from his customer's vehicles.. If d moto break down for even inside sambisa, im know how e go take manage the moto to a safer place where he can do the full fix... But una preek begin stand on top 50mpg wey una dey see, without considering all the terms and conditions... It's well.

BALLOSKI:
Tell me about this ride - fuel economy and all. Maintenance and ease of getting parts.

nativedoctor:
Not as bad as you think. The battery is about 150k and a lot of technicians especially at Ladipo have deciphered the hybrid system. Just get a reliable battery dealer and let him recommend his installer.
My search for Prius led me to this post.
I have done extensive research on the vehicle and it's a good buy.

A 2016 vehicle isn't new by any definition.. In case you don't know, it's already 9 years old, and thus far out of manufacturer warranty


If op is in Nigeria, the scarcity/high cost of the car's parts, and even more scarcity of competent hybrid mechanics of such model have cancelled out whatever fuel gains he might have.. I would rather stick with my Toyota V6/V8, do my pay-as-you-go fuelling, and avoid any battery monkey business down the line..

If op is in the 1st World, then he is all good and my concerns aren't all that applicable to his situation.
Wrong. 2016 is 7 years old not 9 please

buygala:
Lol.. Some areas in Europe and US are far hotter than Nigeria can ever be.

Toyota V8s will still be on the road when it's time for him to shell out bucks for a new hybrid battery


If he doesn't spend money on fuel, he will spend it replacing hybrid batteries.
While I agree with you that nothing is free, I have done my calculations and waiting for it.



Nothing free even in freetown

Run a check on your fuel gauge, just so you don't get caught unaware.

Shellsploit:
Oh boy!
Toyota V8 engine users will avoid this thread

Was he the one that said he was 52 yo or the paper just used the age they wanted without doing their homework? That newspaper is not his birth certificate Mr man.

Nna the governor-elect na ngwa man and we know say nobody sabi chop people like ndi ngwa. Abia is about to institutionalize cannibalism.

Abeg no bring that thing come Anambra. We don reduce cannibalism for here. Na only people wey dey chop dog still plenty.

Daalu.

They have started misleading themselves again. Political Am@teurs. Naive zombiedients. Do you know how many polling unit in just one street in Lagos alone?

Celebrating and littering our internet space with cherry-picked polling unit results in their favour. Same mistake they made during the presidential election. When you start seeing the ward and State result now. You will be crying rigging.
God ponish you ediot

Peter Obi should never shave led this fight when he knew he could not be a strong leader for millions of sane Nigerians that died and stressed themselves for him.

Millions of Nigerians spent their personal money and got involved in this electoral process because of Peter Obi. I sensed danger from Peter Obi when the igbo elites and strong men did not support him. Nonetheless, the Nigerians stood by him. Even IPOB did not stand by him and even now that Peter Obi has been cheated, Ohaneze Ndigbo and IPOB have not said a word.

To rub insult on injury, Peter Obi keeps talking like Nigeria is America or any strong Democracy when he talks confidently about the judicial process and the judiciary as if he doesn’t know that Tinubu and APC have that area covered. Now Peter Obi has been disgraced by Tinubu and treated like a small boy. Peter Obi’s victory was taken from him and he keeps acting aim like he can get his mandate back by turning our pastors to fools who keep prophesying Tinubu will be stopped from being sworn in by the military. Which military will stop the inauguration of a rich man like Tinubu who bullied a whole Buhari?

Peter Obi raised the hopes of millions of Nigerians and denied Atiku and PDP of the opportunity of being elected President. The most infuriating behavior of Peter Obi is the way he acts calm as if he has some ace off his card or something. Because of Obi, the igbos in lagos are now being bullied and might face a more hostile lagos. Honestly, he should not have presented himself if he knew he could not get the support of other strong men to battle a principality like Tinubu.

In addition, millions of Christians are now battling with with doubt in God just because of this same man and he keeps going to different media organizations saying he believes in the process of a failed African country. The man really messed up and should have gotten the commitment of strong men before venturing into this struggle.

Tinubu really belittled him and used him as a ladder to the presidency because they knew he’s not a strong man. It’s very painful. Peter Obi ought to apologize to Nigerians for the damage he has done
to our mental health and overall health. Millions of people are now battling depression because one man made himself a messiah and is now shying away from speaking out after his victory has been stolen him like a child.

I must admit that Obi’s cause is not helped because he comes from the igbo tribe that still suffers the effect of the loss of Biafra war. Were Peter Obi Hausa or Yoruba, nobody will dare treat him like a baby in Nigeria. We saw what Yorubas did when MKO Abiola was robbed of his victory in 1993. I still remember how lagos shook in that year and how we fought the military to a standstill.

Conversely, now that Peter Obi has been cheated, neither IPOB nor the Niger Delta militants have raised a finger to help him. It’s really sad and disappointing. He should have made alliances with even his tribesmen to help him face the Nigerian state.

While commendable, his confidence in Nigeria’s judiciary is misplaced and infuriating. Millions of youths are still fooling themselves on Twitter that Peter Obi’s mandate will retrieved. This has a deleterious effect on the polity because it doesn’t allow the country to move on from the election. Since Peter Obi can’t fight, he should just call Tinubu and concede the election and save us the stress of hoping in a futile struggle.

As for the igbos, I will always repeat it, the greatest igbo leader of recent is still Nnamdi Kanu. He’s tough, charismatic, eloquent, bold and strong.

He’s an old man and nobody will follow him to vote again in 2027. By that time, most young and educated who have left Nigeria so what’s the need for all the stress again?

It’s well.
