Wow, the Thanksgiving trip killed my mileage - in fact, because of this once a year trip, my lifetime mileage dropped .3 mpgs! The total trip is around 1100-1200 miles, and half of that is with loads of weight in presents and leftovers.

11/24 - 520 Tmiles, 10.349Gals, 50.8 Car MPG
11/27 - 522 Tmiles, 11.17Gals, 48.4 Car MPG
11/28 - 439 Tmiles, 10.095Gals, 43.8 Car MPG(!)

Total monthly figures:

2621 miles, 54.258 gallons, car avg of 49.7 MPG, which isn't my highest travelled month, nor my lowest monthly MPG. Closing fast on 20k - technically just passed it, as my current ODO is about 688 miles behind the car's mileage. (the figure below is my estimated real world miles as of the last fillup)

-m.

Note: this time period is Oct 21st (delivery) to Nov 30th

Tank Miles: 790
Overall Miles: 797
Avg Tank Mileage: 45.8
Avg Overall Mileage: 45.8
Avg Temperature: 40's
Price per Tank: ?
Avg Price per Gallon: $2.05

This encompasses two fill-ups. The first (11/11) was far short of "full" since it was the first time I bought gas for the car and did not understand the "pump-click-pump-click-pump-click" Prius-owner mantra. [Indicator fell to 9 bars only 42 miles after the fill-up, compared to 121 miles after I took delivery from the dealer].

Note that the two tanks combined closely match the MFD fuel average:

MFD calculated
Tank 1: 43.9 56.1
Tank 2: 46.1 37.3
Combo: 44.9 45.8

What was last year's Nov. mileage for you John?? Did you see the kind of improvements I did or were you already 'tuned in' enough from your Classic that it hasn't changed much?

46.3 MPG was last year's November average. But that included a lot of break-in weirdness. It was considerably colder & snowier too. So I shy away from direct comparisons.

44.6 MPG was the 3-year November for my Classic. That tends to provide a decent sense of average for the month. So realistically (taking the tire difference into account), it's fairly safe saying there's a 5 MPG difference.
