Recently, I had a situation where I was driving up a small hill at about 25mph. The car kind of hesitated or jerked, similar to the hesitation you'd feel when an automatic transmission slips when shifting. This occurred twice. I took it to the dealer and they said it checked out fine.
Now it has started doing it when I travelling about 55mph. I've noticed that when I feel it do this my instantaneous mileage jumps to 100mpg. Telling me the car has shifted to all electric. It runs that way for a few minutes then drops back to the normal mpg.
Has anybody experienced this?
Have any ideas what it is?
My car is a 2001 Prius with almost 45,000 miles.
