    I just hit the 100 mile mark on my new Prius. According to the consumption screen, I have averaged 55.2 miles per gallon over the first 100 miles---all city miles!

    I couldn't be more pleased. I was expecting a more severe break-in period before achieving such results. Hopefully, these readings are close to being accurate.

    Oh...for those who are interested: I drive on flat ground (Chicago suburbs); the temperatures have been around 60 degrees; it has been very windy (20 mph) over this time period.

    My previous car was a 1989 Toyota Corolla (manual transmission). I think I learned something about maximizing mileage driving that car. I achieved over 40 mpg in the city and near 50 mpg on the highway with that car.

    Holy cow! Great mileage. We are short of 200 miles on our new Prius, and are only averaging 42 or 43 MPG so far.
