If you have a Gen II and now a Gen III, please post what you are getting compared to you Gen II.

Or post miles per tank

2010 Prius III with Navi

Seaside Oregon to Reno Nevada. Over 1,400 miles with an average of 52.7 MPG. This is based on fuel used not the dash readout.

I noticed the dash readout is about 2 MPG off on the plus side.

So far with over 2,400 miles we are averaging over 50 MPG.

Just picked up our new 2010 package III on Thursday. So far, 48 mpg. Haven't filled the tank yet.
Last year, we rented a 2009 for a weekend trip, Indiana to Michigan and back. Averaged 44 mpg.
We have yet to try to get maximum mileage. We drive like we always did--keeping up with traffic, and getting out of the way of the big trucks who swarm on our local section of I-94. Anything over 45 is like really great for us. we never got better than 22 on our Dodge minvan.

My driving style on my commute afforded a 47-48mpg average in the 2004. Same style in the 2010 w/o adjusted tire pressures or being fully broken in - 52-55mpg.

Thats great!

Like Rick, I have a short commute. This typically keeps my mileage down, and I only get big numbers when I take road trips. I have nearly 700 miles on the car in just 10 days, but that is because I've taken two road trips already. The first big trip (180 miles one way) resulted in 62.5 MPG. The return the following day was into the wind and had less congested traffic. The mileage dropped to 56.7.

Interestingly, the past 198 miles have been only short trips (2-4 miles) plus five or six "jaunts" of 5 or 6 miles, and one "long" run of better than 12 miles. In my 2007, at this time of year, I would expect to have 53 to 55. In the new 2010, not broken in, with new tires, AND with 17" wheels and those wide 215/45 R17 tires, I'm at 57.0. Looks pretty good so far!

I'll try to keep things updated in my signature, also.
