    New Prius C2 Owner. It has been 2 weeks (and two days). It has seen 1080 miles....took a few trips to see the folks. Averaging 45mpg overall, usually 50-55+ in city however. Highest I got was 65mpg. Haven't see that since the weather has been under 50F the last week or so.

    Just thought I would chime in. Never made one of these new member posts when I first got the car. :)

    Welcome. I have had my C for about 10 months now. Never had a problem. Based upon my experience you will get better mileage now that it is getting warmer and as your C breaks in further.

    The mileage jumped once the temperature did. I get 55 average for the last few days. I guess being above freezing in the morning now changes things.

    The gas engine forgot to engage yesterday when I was going up a hill. It was funny to see the battery take a huge hit.

    It didn't engage when I went uphill. I think it was a fluke, the traffic was bad and I was going pretty slow.

    :) No fluke. If you aren't demanding much, it will stay in EV mode, even up a hill.

    I've got almost 10,000 on my C and I'm really enjoying the car.....and the gas mileage.

    Enjoy and Welcome!

    Congrats. 10,000 miles at one year. Still makes me smile. MPG beats heck out of my '97 Prizm.

    The weather is huge. I traveled over 600 miles this weekend and averaged 52mpg on the interstate traveling 70mph or higher (mostly on cruse control) going on moderate hills. 70 degrees is sweet.
