Default June 2005 mpg averages

First ever fill-up was today, June 1. Owned the car since April 14.

662 km on the odometer (it read 3 km when I picked the car up)
5.0 L/100km on the consumption screen
It took 36.18 litres
That would be a calculated consumption of 5.46 L/100km (probably the tank wasn't quite as full when I got the car)

non-metric
411 miles
9.56 US gallons, 7.96 IMP gallons
screen - 47 mpg US, 56.6 mpg IMP
calculator - 43 mpg US, 51.7 mpg IMP

Yeah, it's because I live about 6 km from work. It's a bit of a catch-22: I never get into the car's most efficient range of operation, but if I lived farther from work I'd burn more gas by sheer distance (although the numbers would look better).

Here's something else, I see at least two other Priuses/Prii ? a day, and almost no wavers. When I park it on the street or in a lot it's practically invisible to people, but at the gas station yesterday everyone wanted to talk about the car. Even the guy behind the counter had this parting shot, "I guess we won't be seeing much of you anymore".

I do 600 km every two weeks! Living 20 km from work plus weekend trips add up quickly.

5.0L/100km ain't bad. I'm at 4.6 right now with 671kms on this tank. 2 bars left.

Like kinghuang, I do about a tank every two weeks.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with that for a first tank. The car will likely get a bit better after break-in, and my right foot could be a bit lighter, but those short trips will always keep the mileage down a little.

Is this the Canadian-only June results?

First tank for June (2nd tank overall):
414 Miles, 9.85 US Gallons= 42 MPG (Computer had 44.9). Price per gallon: $1.979 (testing native american reservation gas...). Wife drove over half the mileage, and she lives by cruise control...
Lifetime mileage 43.74 over 817 miles.

I just haven't needed to stop for gas yet. So far, it's 510 miles at 61.6 MPG with three bars left on the guage.
