Friends: 1 | Re: PRIUS GAS MILEAGE SUCKS I'm quite happy with my mileage. First of all, I keep the tires pressure at the factory setting because I want a less jarring ride. At 35/33 I find it decent and in city driving I get low 40's. On the highway and get 48-51 and my speeds avg 65. Not bad. |

Friends: 1 | Re: PRIUS GAS MILEAGE SUCKS I let my father drive my prius for a bit and he has anything but a lead foot. From a dead stop, he would drive up to 30 without even using the engine, as he has always accelerated very slowly. I can imagine that most older people drive this way as my grandma did as well. Perhaps the bad mpg's are resulting from a very "light-foot". Just my $0.02. |

Friends: 3 | Re: PRIUS GAS MILEAGE SUCKS We drove our 2009 base from CO to AZ on 10/17/09, a total of 837.5 miles in 12.5 hours. The car was loaded with golf clubs, suitcases, some boxes of stuff and two adults. The tires were at 39 psi and the cruise control was set at 79 mph most of the time. We averaged 45.4 mpg for the first 673.5 miles (from Lone Tree, CO to Holbrook, AZ) and 63.8 mpg for the last 164 miles (descending from 6,000 feet to 1,200 feet in elevation). If Prius gas mileage sucks, then show me another car that can match that mileage over that time and distance. |
