2013 Persona Project..

Here are the results from my way home from work. Average 55-60 mph.
I have driven about 275 miles and I actually have 4 bars left on my gas tank indicator.

if i can control my speed until the tank empties out, i think I'm on track for a 500 mile tank.

 

Really difficult. Everyone is mad and passing me up because I'm going so slow. Hahaha.

 

So 3 bars left and I am just over 300 miles on the same tank. Here are today's morning commute results.

It was surprisingly warm this morning. no warm up time needed. 55 degrees. Right on track to the finish line.

 

Here's my commute home. I am almost at 370 miles and at 3 bars on the gas meter.


My freeway average was more at 60-65 mph. Safer at this speed on a fast freeway.

 

60.3 Mpg? Wow. Your top speed average couldn't have been more than 45mph.

What was your average speed?

 

so I am closing in on the empty tank. I have driven about 415 miles and 2 bars left on the tank meter. I will definitely be filling up after my commute home tonight.

 

I'm sure my tank indicator will show 0 miles when i get home tonight.

The prius tank can hold 11.9 gallons of gas. When the tank indicator hits 0 miles to empty, fillup is usually 9+ gallons. Technically I will still have at least 2-1/2 gallons left, which will get me my 500+ miles.

If I were to run my tank down completely, I should technically be able to get 600 miles. I won't be doing that, don't want to ruin the pump.

I have the habit of filling up at this Chevron by my place, hence filling up just under 500 miles. I could wait and fillup by my work.

 

So my final tank before fillup is 456 miles. I had 10 miles left before fillup.

Here are the results.

So my fillup at the tank was 9.03 gallons. Actual MPG is 50.6 Mpg.

easily a 500+ mile tank awesome.

 

Well I had a rare opportunity this morning. I was able to drive to work on a full tank of gas and straight coasting with no traffic on the freeway, averaging 60-65 mph.

 

Upgraded Gap Fillers. Harder to install than the Broadway rear view mirror.j/k

 

Added some bass to the stock system.



Sounds way better now.

 

Took advantage of the warm weather and light traffic on a fairly flat freeway.



I can't wait wait for wait for summer when it's 100 degrees.

 

So here are the results of my last tank.

As you can see from the images, I filled up a little sooner. As I was taking these pictures, the empty tank alarm went off. From the fillup image, you can see that it took 9 gallons. So with an 11.9 gallon tank, you still have over 2 gallons left in your tank.
