Friends: 0 |  [attachmentid=10520][attachmentid=10521][attachmentid=10522] Well... reached the "magical" 60 MPG barrier this week. 1 long weekend get away trip all HWY total 220 miles. The rest was to/from work (14 miles each way- mostly HWY driving enhanced with some service road detours); plus some short drives to do errands. Tires are at 40/38; current odometer reading 6263 miles. Last 4 tanks were all above 58 MPG; the one prior to the 60 was 58.7. Calculated MPG based on fill-up was 59.8 MPG very close to the MFD reading. Life time MPG = 53.7 (Apr. 29th 2007 to today) ... may winter cold never come ... AWW ... LOL Terrific car in every respect and don't forget this awesome site with so many valuable contributors! Very HAPPY new (3 months) Prius owner, Gabe
__________________ Gabe First year MPG = 56.8 or 4.14L / 100km Second year MPG = 62.8 or 3.75L / 100km Third year MPG = 66.3 or 3.55L / 100km LMPG = 60.9 or 3.86L / 100km (over 40K miles) (US gallons used for all MPG calculations) |
