The Official GT4 Prius II MPG competition thread!

[MetroMPG]

Let's get this started....

Lowest fuel consumption wins. Where fuel consumption is equal, best time wins.

Run the track in "Practice" mode. Run one lap and record gallons used and lap time after your first lap.

Permitted mods:

None!

Permitted car setup:

Driving aids on, or off - your choice.

Circuit: Citta di Aria (normal)

(We can do other courses too.)

2.11 miles. This course is just long enough to do in stealth mode - if you're careful. Hills provide some regen opportunities.

The PS2 will accelerate the car towards the start of the practice lap before it hands you the reins, using about 0.002 gallons in the process. I think it's possible to do the whole thing without firing the ICE, and keep it pegged at 0.002.

Note: we're deducting fuel used before crossing the start line to begin the lap from total used at the finish of the lap.

Results:
