    Hot climate means air conditioner. That for me is a MPG killer. My winter consumption is 4.3L/100km but summer is 4.4L/100km.

    Some Hypermilers get better than 100mpg for a tank.

    i gues when you life in a place where there are a lot of hills you can drive up EV mode and drive down regenerating.

    i also want to now of the prius with al the options DVDnav/voice response/ and jbl audio and stuff uses more then a standard one

    Sorry you have that all wrong.
    Repeat after me

    Never try to drive on electric only if you want good economy!

    I never touch the EV switch except to quietly back out of my garage.

    Ok so a relative newbie here but I see all these L/100km posts and cannot get less than 5.2-5.4 L/100km average now thats combined city/hwy under reasonably average conditions, as much glide as possible and playing with slower speds electric in city but nothing extreme. Is this considered good or should I get better? 2001 with 100,000 km on it, bought it used.

    The 04+ models officially get better mileage (Although Frank Hudon here with a 2003 beats a lot of us lol).

    Mine's mostly city driving with most of the highway down to the States at 70mph (I get 5.1L/100km at that speed).

    I'm currently > 5L/100km because it's winter.

    I think that Elkhart, IN is a flat area. This makes a big difference. If you are in a hilly area like I am in Cincinnati, it is more difficult to make those numbers. Not to take anything away from you DiamondLarry, your numbers are great.

    Are you in a flat or hilly area?

    Last fall, I was able to pull out some 70's MPG niumbers here in Cincinnati, before it stared to get cold.

    After I drove home from filling up across Happy Valley I had to take a picture of the MFD.
