I tried to take a look at your CleanMPG info, but when I clicked, I only got the image to come up. Do you need to do some editing, or am I just not able to follow a link? I'm interested to find out how long this has taken you (to get up to such high MPGs) and how often and far you drive annually. | |

Up until this past April, my commute-only miles were just over 31 miles/day. In May, I got a new job and my daily commute is 22.0 miles/day. Just yesterday, I set a new record of 100mpg on the way to work and I'm usually in the mid to upper 90's. Going home is another story as traffic is heavier and I don't have a way to plug in the EBH. The trip home is usually in the 80's mpg. You'll have to go to CleanMPG.com to view my mileage stats as the mileage banner is just a linked image from there. This was my 4th 1K+ miles tank and there was another at 979 miles.

Friends: 0 |  Two pics I've had my Prius for 3 weeks now. My morning commute is on I-4. Notice the typical poor starting mileage...  This is my "best" screen so far. This was on I-4, from Disney to Downtown, during a thunderstorm.  I seem to average about 51 MPG or so. This is summertime, and in Florida the temps are about 100F. So I am using the AC constantly. Most of my driving is on 65 MPH highways and that seems to be keeping me out of the 60 MPG zone. Regards, Peter Doege |

Friends: 1 | Re: I Beat the EPA--Post 'em here Out of 17 fill ups, I have had only 2 under the EPA numbers, one was when the car was brand new, one was during some very HOT weather ... I have notice a big hit on mileage at 105 degrees and up. My total lifetime mileage is 49.62 mpg @ 6002 miles. |

Friends: 0 | Re: I Beat the EPA--Post 'em here 12047 miles with 250.777 gallons = 49.5 LMPG. Mostly mountain back roads and interstate long rolling hills, very little city driving. PS I do not trust the MFD for MPGs. |

Friends: 0 | Re: I Beat the EPA--Post 'em here I spent an awful weekend driving my Prius - my son had an serious ATV accident causing my wife and I to make a flying 230 mile (1-way) trip across Missouri. The terrain is 30% flat, 70% hills to very hilly. I drove between 80 - 90 mph the entire distance with 2 brief stops. On the normal speed (70 mph) return, I filled up and calculated the mileage from the odometer and receipt as 47.2 mpg. The average on the display was 48.1 mpg. I know there was a God because I didn't see a single speed cop the entire trip and my son turned out OK. |

Friends: 0 | Re: I Beat the EPA--Post 'em here 1998 Kawasaki 250 242 miles on 4.05 gallons = 59.7mpg. I have to keep it under 65mph... I am surprised looking at this site that a car, light as it may be, is almost as fuel efficient as a gently ridden motorcycle, with less than half the weight and frontal surface... |

Friends: 0 | Re: I Beat the EPA--Post 'em here Best tank MPG was 57.0; 487 miles, 8.4 gals. Mostly rural uposted roads. No speeds above 55 and no city driving. Last 7k miles, 51.24 MPG. Does the Prius get better MPG using 89 octane? Only put it in twice in a row with no increase. Anyone else? Chris |
