Friends: 0 | Fifth tank: 05/05/05 Miles travelled since last fill: 486 mi Gallons taken: 8.237 gal. Calculated mileage: 59.00 mpg MFD MPG display: 56.5 mpg All previous tanks have been ~4mpg MFD better than calculated. This time, for the first time, calculated is better. What those have said about the two averaging out close to each other may be becoming true in my case. |

Friends: 0 | Re: May 2005 Averages I averaged out, all right. Ouch! Looks like a market correction. Tank Miles: 301.6 Total Miles: 6753 Tank MPG: 40.6 Lifetime MPG: 44.8 Avg Temp: 50s Price of Tank: $17.08 Price per Gal: $2.29 I have no one to blame (previous tank was around 54 mpg) but myself, for I filled both tanks. I think the previous fill was incomplete so that is "corrected" now. |

Friends: 0 | 667 miles at 56.3 MPG. It took 12 gallons to fill it up. Would have been better but I left it on for five hours and knocked it down by 3.5 MPG with 270 miles on the tank. Next tank will be better. |

Friends: 0 | I don't believe the charcoal filter is flooded when filling up to the top. If that were the case then I believe centrifugal force would flood the filter in a high G turn. I think there is a valve that prevents this. Just my thoughts on it. I have no proof. I'm still waiting for someone to provide evidence to the contrary. Toyota states that the Prius takes 3.9 quarts when changing the oil and filter. That amount will result in an overfill every time. I have put 12.749 gallons in my car in one fillup. That was when I went 763 miles on one tank. Many here complain about being unable to fill with anything approaching the stated capacity. I have gone over 100 miles on the last flashing bar many times. I fill at least one gallon more after the pump shuts off. That explains almost three gallons of the difference between my fillup and theirs.
