I get 52 mpg and my Wife get 43 mpg average

[CurryBob]

It amazes me how I can drive the car and average the low 50's and when my wife drives the same trip she will get about 10 mpg less. She has a lead foot and has the nerve to say she cannot understand how she gets less. <_<

Go figure

I added body side molding and pin strip. Love the car

I have a 2004 and my wife has a 2005. We have similar commutes but I consistently get 58 MPG to her 52 MPG. She isn't as aggressive as she was but still takes off ahead of the pack. I spend more time finessing the car. At 45,000 miles and almost two years old, I still love the car and I still play the mileage game most of the time. I'm currently at 59.1 MPG for the last 180 miles. She's at 53 MPG in hers.

Yep, same story, different guy! I'm just glad she's not getting 29 which was her first tank!

Listen people, listen to the voice in your Prius voice-prompt system. Notice the gender. It's female, it likes men, regardless of what gender name you choose if you want to name it.

Now if somebody would just come up with a mod where the voice says, "Yes Master"

The gender diff is ~ 10 mpg in my home, too.

"I did great ! 61.9 on the MFD !!"
--"What was the tank at *before* you took the car?"
"I don't know. Why ?"
--"<<Sigh>>. It was 62.4, at 200 miles"
"61.9 is great ! Don't start ragging on me again .."

Talking to air:"If you want to know your trip FE .. "

Well, maybe it's a good thing I'm not married, because I get around 45 mpg.

Looking forward to summer in Spokane, though (Fargo was all short trips, because Fargo is small, and I moved here in the fall, so I've never had a summer with longer drives.)

I'm not sure if its the angle of the picture, but you're side mouldings seems to be higher on the front than in the back. measurement says it should be higher in the back door--but when you put it on it will look pretty much straight. or maybe you like it that way---to each his own.

It's the lens of the camera with the front part being closer to the lens. I measured from the bottom is the same on both ends. Good observation though.
