My company acquired two used Priuses last week to perform energy audits and yesterday after my last audit I had a bit of time to take a slower route back to the office. It was my first time trying the 30-40mph Pulse and Glide and I was amazed with the results!
This image shows where I was close to halfway along the route:

There was an overall elevation gain from there to the office though and my overall average ended somewhat lower:

This is an image of the overall route, what appears to be along I-10 is actually the access road where I was able to P&G without disturbing traffic flow too much:

I also recorded a couple of YouTube vids at two points along the route:

I sure do, but I am still very happy with the results. Initially I was thinking I could only achieve mid 70's overall on that route but was pleasantly surprised :D

Thanks! Now I'm starting to research the potential of adding an Enginer system to the fleet vehicles. Stellar numbers should then come to the non-hypermilers in the company.
