    Actually, I got on the interstate to take my Prius in for an oil change, so I reset my tripometer and then gunned it most of the way there. I know there aren't many cops on that stretch, and it's a good road with light traffic. When I got there my average was pretty high, but by the time I got to the dealer it was down to about 75mph. I still bet if they paid attention they'd think it was kinda high. /shrug

    Uh check out all the numbers:

    • distance: 2,000.0 miles
    • MPG: 23.5
    • speed: 124 mph
    They must have the optional 86 gallon tank model. Still that would be one way to go coast-to-coast in a little over 16 hours.

    That's funny. Wonder if the person that put that in the manual still works there!

    I bet this figure was achieved during one of the test runs in Toyota's Fuji Speedway.
