Fuel Economy is in your own hands .. !!

You must be definitely on 15 inch wheels. I do not think that is possible with 17 inch wheels.

 

I do miss how the 15's on my old '13 liftback three seemed to roll forever effortlessly (had them pumped up a couple psi from max) compared to my current 17's. Even pumped up real high they don't roll near as easy as the 15's for some reason.

But I like how the 17's Handle a lot better than the 15's....


Op - Impressive mpg. Good stuff.
Now try to average 65mpg for the tank

 

very nice stats.
Averaging 65 mpg over multiple fill ups is really hard to do unless you have a Plug in Prius

fwiw...IIRC you upload photos into your priuschat album and then link them to your messages...

fyi ... Your MPG statistic is also affected by:

How MPG is calculated (onboard Trip Meter is more optimistic than a Scangauge AVG, Smartphone OBDII App, manually calculating the MPG after each fill up)
Driving Temperature (optimum temperature is from 65 to 75 Fahrenheit)
Weather (wet roads, rain, high head winds can lower MPG)
Road elevation (a 1 way trip with an overall drop in elevation tend to achieve hi MPG, also using cruise control on a mainly flat road surface can help)
Tire Pressure (higher front/rear psi improves MPG)
Tire model (e.g. LRR model-type tires improve MPG )
Top speed ( lower top speeds tend to help raise MPG performance, higher top speeds tend to lower MPG performance )
gasoline formulation can effect your MPG (the less ethanol in your gas the better)
Hypermiling techniques can help increase MPG performance
Road complexity ( straight roads with smooth dry road surface is the best, curvy roads with rough or wet road surfaces are the worst)
How many time the Prius had to do a full stop ( full stops lower fuel efficiency)

Every time you do a full stop - MPG drops.
Everty time the HV battery needs to be recharged by the Prius ICE - MPG drops.
Every time the ICE needs to do a cold start or has to reheat the coolant - MPG drops.

If you can get over 600 miles/tank , 700 miles/tank, 800 miles/tank, or +72 mpg on a tank where you have driven over 600 miles than please take a photo of your onboard MPG display and post it to the appropriate Priuschat XXX mile/tank thread or the Top MPG tank Priuschat thread.

 

Took advantage of the warm weather and light traffic on a fairly flat freeway.
Rolling on Persona wheels 215/45/17.

These are on 2 oem Toyo Proxes and 2 non oem non LRR tires.

 

if MPG true, I bet the gaso is not E10 and not US EPA style formulation so maybe quite a bit more energy content..

 

So what does that mean Exactly? ??

 

we have 10% ethanol in US and other regs which tend to reduce the allowable energy content per gal gaso. So if you are in a different country you may have a better gaso maybe not as clean burning but better MPG

 

Ummmm. I am in northern california.

 

Winter time Reformulate E10 gas doesn't freeze as easy and burns quicker than regular gas in the winter time but it also has less energy than regular gas .. about 5% less which causes the MPG to drop - cold driving temperatures makes it seem even less potent. If one accelerates gently and avoid going too fast - the lower fuel efficiency is mitigated somewhat. The carbon foot print for corn based ethanol is about the same as regular gas. If the OP is in Islamabad Pakistan - his/her driving temperature is likely around 70F ... which would help account for the OP's very nice MPG stats ... which is much better than what my Prius onboard computer is currently optimistically estimating I am getting --- about 54 mpg over 490 miles -- but I've been driving in snow and ice in sub freezing driving temperatures ...

 

That's what he said -- different country

 

Got it. I had the impression he was referring to my MPG.

 

How is the traffic in Islamabad? All stop n go or are you outside the city?

Are there many Prius around those parts?

 

Sorry Xterra I was commenting on the orginal poster from Pakistan...he might have juicier gaso overseas...Calfornia you just got E10 reformulated gaso and pretty much the same here.

 

Our best tank to the date 68.4 MPG over 636mi. It was achieved in similar conditions: resonable temperatures (no A/C), moderate traffic and lower ~30MPH speeds. Longer trips to keep number cold starts to minimum. Prius seems to thrive in these conditions. As long as speeds low, no A/C and you are not getting stuck to force engine to kick in to charge battery.
