PriusChat Forums

I am a new prius owner who cannot get over 39MPG - well about 4 times we got up to 43mpg on a long trip. I brought it back to the dealer, who told me the low mileage is normal for some Prius cars - it's the luck of the draw. Given what I have seen on this forum, I am beginning to wonder if the problem is with the choice of dealers - very young, very indifferent - not much investment in figuring out my concern. We have had this car for 3 months with 5000 milies - time for service. Do you think our low mileage can logically be linked to the luck of the draw?
