    Xterra72,

    I wish it would get warmer around here darnit.

    My last 3-4 tanks have been in the 39's mpg wise and I have not broken 400 miles a tank since my first tank, and I drive like a grandma as I said before (55 mph almost all the time, have my tires 44/42, try to barely use the heater if at all, have the lower grill blocked, don't do a lot of short trips).

    I just filled up in Delaware as it was $2.35, as opposed to $2.49+ back home and I got 39.49 mpg calculated!! Kinda blows as imagine I was not doing all the above i'd prob be at 35'ish mpg :(

    Warmer weather should def improve my stats though.

    Meanwhile you are killing it on the west coast :)

    At least your gas is not at $3.22 per gallon. Our gas prices has gone up quite a bit since my last fillup.

    True.

    Then again that's the price you pay for living in Palm tree land. ;)

    Just called the place that installed it and they called it Oracal film dark gray. I think it's more of a light smoke.

    This is an exact plug n play to replace the oem. You can purchase from global rakuten or ebay by searching toyota prius zvw30. You will surely get a hit on this. Good luck.

    The low gas prices was nice while it lasted.. I pushed it to to just over 500, 2nd time. You are right there.. clearly based on your mpg you can do it.. Our 17" wheels are not that bad.. but maybe the Toyo's are that good?

    I have done it once or twice before the software update and when i still had all four oem tires But never took a picture of it.

    What I don't get is how people can get the 600 maybe even the 700 mile tank. Maybe possible with 15s but I don't see getting it with 17s like that person from Florida.

    Seriously.. Prius tank size is 11.9 so say you push it to 11.5 for simple math sake.. 600/11.5 = 52mpg. 700/11.5 = 60,87 mpg! 600 I can see that but 700.. I bet they are literally not stopping and just keep on rolling. Nevertheless, quite a feat. Impossible where we live.
