    Pretty excited, just filled up for the third time and this fill up was 57 mpg. Last two tanks were in the 52.~ range. If it keeps this up I will be more than happy, considering I do have a lead foot (to the floor) quite frequently. Though I make this up with long glides, and slow driving sometimes when no one is behind me.

    The Prius is fantastic! Just today, I was in stop and go traffic due to storms and I got 75 mpg. My overall average is 53-54 mpg since buying my Prius 3 months ago!

    This is my second tank since I bought my Prius, and currently at 54.7 mpg. Still 151 miles till it reaches empty. If I can sustain my currently driving habits, I should be able to join the 500 club in a several days.

    Well now that I have my car back from the body shop and the temperature is much colder, I am most underwhelmed by my MPG. Yes I knew this would happen but I wasn't expecting my fuel economy to drop from 57 to 38. I was hoping to keep mid 40's all winter. Just got done blocking the grill tonight so I guess I will see what happens.

    Don't let it get you down... you will make up for it in the spring... I almost stopped doing Fuelly.com when my running average fell below 50mpg. I was so ashamed. ;)
