Nice Ray!!

My first "all April" tank wasn't as good as I'd have hoped for as warm as it was, but I had 2 big Ozarks highway round trips with speeds averageing over 55mph that were about 1:30-1:45 each way (i.e. 6 1/2 hours of highway driving on the tank.) Once I started my usual commute the mileage started climbing from the 51.4 after those trips up to about 54.1 on the MFD.

Calculated, however, the 394 miles came to 52.3mpg. Still brought my average up slightly, but I'd hoped to be above 55mph for this and the remainder of the Spring, Summer, and early Fall.

Thanks Doc-
Did you have the family with you on the highway trips. It sure makes a difference to have a full car doesn't it?

My first guess gauge bar dropped off at exactly 200 miles. It won't be a great tank in the end as I'm driving to the drag race championships in Houston. 380 mile round trip at 75 mph will pretty much toast the numbers on this tank and into the next.

Yea, you guessed it. At least the 2 longer legs were all 5 people in the car, the 2 shorter legs were 3 of us (albeit one was the baby). The longer legs had luggage and bicycles and a wife and kids not wanting to sweat so we had AC on the entire way!!

Still, I'm not complaining, just didn't start the month quite as great as I'd hoped.

Tank Miles: 397.5
Total Miles: 5667
Tank MPG: 40.4
Lifetime MPG: 43.9
Avg Temp: 40s (but a wide range)
Price of Tank: $23.90
Price per Gal: $2.42 (!)

I never got 9.8 gallons in the tank before - and the gas station wanted the money all at once! Maybe my bladder is stretching for the season (or we finally got that groundhog out of there lol).

I've had my Prius for about 3 weeks and got 44.7 miles on this April tankful. I'm more in love with this car each time I drive it!
