<<Most of that trip, the big battery was fully charged, but the only times the electric motor was being used was when I'd give it quite a bit of throttle, so the gas engine was working hard too.

Would rather see the electric motor used more aggressively anytime the battery is more than half-charged.>>

Maybe battery concerns, they don't want to go to deep into it because of warranty.Prius i think is giving 8 year warranty on the batteries.
