    Have been driving my Prius for a week or so.., below are the techniques that i.am trying to apply to achieve better fuel consumption..

    1. Pulse and glide under ~70 km/hr
    2. Stay on sweet spot range if over 70km/hr in highway.
    3. Reduce depression at anytime on the gas pedal.
    4. Run the car with pure electricity from rest.

    So far, i have got this. 21.9km/L. Can someone tell me if this is a good number?

    Thanks!

    The shorter distances are always a less reliable, so just commenting on the first numbers: 21.9 km/l achieved over 323.2 km's, that's equivalent to 51.5 mpg (US gallons), or 4.6 liters/100 km (Canadian metric). Good numbers!

    I've found the display to be about 7.5% optimistic, so calculated would likely be around: 20.4 km/l, 47.9 mpg (US) or 4.9 liters/100 km.
