Towing a Prius
Has anyone ever towed their Prius? I know it needs to be on a dolly but am getting mixed answers from Toyota.

I would say True, 'BUT not only are you going to put miles on the odometer, at any speed above 42 the engine has to turn over and the compression release would be activated (see my video link). Pulling it behind a MH would be the same as coasting down a hill.
At the end of the day would the fuel tank still be full?
True
False
Why?

False, not full. Gas has to activate to balance the speed of the planetary gear .
So my guess is that it would be say not quite but close to full probably would get close to the 128 MPG's I got in my MDX when I left it running once - no on second thought more like 250.
I really have no problem letting the odometer run - would really like to know the actual milage.
