One question I have, is how much mileage/kilometres do you guys get per tank on average?

There's probably quite a range, but say for a Prius newbie, someone that has had for 1 year or two and the hypermilers!

Thanks! Great community here!

From a new owner, my first tank was 500 miles on the dot before the warning pip started to flash. I'm currently on my second tank and have near 400 miles now on that and it still has more than a half tank left, Looks like i may hit near 600+ for this tank. Currently averaging 55.6 MPG with about 80% of my daily commute being highway. I do take advantage of pulse and glide when i can when under about 40MPH, Above 40 I tend to use the Warp Stealth technique i read about on these forums.

Well, I got 43mpg on the 22 mile drive back. Since then I drove about 30 miles yesterday and it's now at 48mpg. So, I figure minus that first 22 miles, I should be in the 50's. right?

I hate walking more than I hate pumping gas, so I fill up around 350-375 which takes only about 7 gallons or so. You could go more, but why risk it?
