Do live out west?? or are you on holidays? For some reason I thought you lived around the GTA. I'd take the hit on the MPG to always having that scenery around me.

Yeah I'm out west and was on holidays (back to work now) so I do have the privilege of driving through the Rockies every summer. I did live in the GTA before (see reply in the July thread).

Where is this hypermiler stuff? I have no idea how you can do this. Does every car around you beep and honk and procede with dirty looks? The best I averaged was 350 miles/tank; and I thought I did pretty good. What am I missing?

Turn the PWR mode off, stop driving it like a race car. It's a Prius for Christ sake.

For my recent trip to San Diego and back I drove 515 miles My HSI mpg is 57.5. I still got 3 bars left on my fuel gauge. I filled additional 1.5gal after the pump's first auto stop. I didnt fill the gas all the way to the neck but I think it's pretty up there. I think I might be able to make 700 mile tank. According to the how far past 0 can go thread, people were driving over 50 miles after it shows 0.

Where are you driving that you can average 21MPH for 129 miles? I average 28-29 miles per hour on my tanks and even though I travel local roads, there are a number of stares and periodic honks (but those may just be the Floridians' was of saying hello).

In my case, rural roads starting at 4:40am. I would never try something like this in traffic conditions. That's one of my big rules, don't interfere with traffic, ever.
