My Car: 2005 Prius Package: T4 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 1 | Re: I Beat the EPA--Post 'em here I have just managed to get my first tank to beat, if only just, the official 65.7mpg, getting 66.6mpg (UK) over 624 miles (single 10 gallon tank). I did this by bringing the car up to speed (25mpg) then keeping the throttle light to give 75mpg on the consumption screen, amounting to an assisted glide on the flat. The air temperature was typically 20 C which helped, and the upper grill is blocked. |

My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #2 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Re: I Beat the EPA--Post 'em here My first 3476 miles with an average of 49.3 MPG (3476miles / 70.497 gallons) of mostly western NC highway which is going up or down with curves. I only trust miles divided by gallons used for true MPGs. |

My Car: 2005 Prius Package: #3 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Re: I Beat the EPA--Post 'em here Trip from Las Vegas to Sacto, I was able to maintain 60 MPG, with some intensive drafting. Maintaining 3-4 car lengths. Always looked for a 18 wheeler going 60 -65, (hard to find). It seems the higher the price of gasoline the faster the traffic is moving. Totally contrary to logic. |

I now just trust the computer. We are now appparently ALL doomed to trust computers. |
