Default Re: prius and steep grades

I find that partial throttle works a lot better than full throttle. Full throttle seems like the battery boost is bypassed. At partial throttle it goes up any hill without problems often times passing non hybrid cars. I have been over the continental divide about 6 times and have never had a problem exceeding the speed limit that I can remember.
