63.9 About 4200 miles on it so far FWD Regular gas Cold tire pressure 38f/37r Warmed up 42f/41r 60/40 CITY/HWY
I'm getting around 56 mpg (sorry I cant speak to tire pressures and all that jazz) I drive 50% mountain (small town) country/city driving and 50% mountainous interstate. I try to stay in Eco mode as much as I can but, surprisingly, this little engine does have some 'get up and go" so it's hard not to "sport" it every once in awhile on the curvy mountain roads.
Lowered tire pressure to 38f/37r (correction to my first post that was at 41f/40/r + woops) cold and did a math mpg calculation of two different tanks. 61.5 and 61.3 mpg. Also driving spirited here and there, maybe 10% of time in bursts using Lambo mode.
Surprisingly the mpg gauge built in the car so far has exact number I get when I divide the miles on a tank with the gallons replacing it after running from a full tank and then refilling.
just got my 23 LE about a week ago. started off with about 29 mpg on short trip. took a trip from daytona to cape canaveral mileage hit 61mpg for a while. Now around town im at about 46-50 mostly short trips. I will add that compared to my '21 , this is another world. Handles great. Gets out of its own way and seems quieter. It truly is a joy. Dont laugh too loud but I love the gear shift. It reminds me of back in the day of "3 on the tree" where you would kind of lift and pull towards you. Just a pleasure. Consumer Reports got it all wrong!
How about getting in and out of the 2023? I’m only 5’3” and I’ve only had the chance to sit in 2023 but not test drive. Low entry felt so awkward. I raised the seats and the cabin area felt so closed in. Are you getting used to this? I’m a 60 year old gardener/potter. I drive a Prius primarily for the 50 mpg. Cargo space is second reason. I can deal with smaller cargo space but I’m agonizing over the fact that I didn’t buy 2022. Yes, I’m posting this everywhere because I’m trying to get feedback from those who have experience with 2020-2022 and transitioned to 2023. I know this is a challenging time to be buying a car but I can’t handle the stress of my absolutely adored aging 2009 starting to have issues and due for expensive maintenance. If I had a partner to bail me out or a friend who was a mechanic I might hold off longer but I don’t. The things I love about the 2022 are the comfortable easy entry, expansive view, cargo space and 15” tires. To me if felt like a sports car compared to my 2009. : ) If I could go back in time a few months, I would have taken the 2022 that was being allocated to me but I can’t plus I’m not crazy about buying an older body style especially since I’m really hoping for a compact SUV with at least 50 mpg to appear in the next few years. Thanks for listening and any feedback appreciated.
I've gotten 64.1 and 67.9 MPG on my first two tanks. The 64 tank was mostly highway driving. I'm still learning how to hypermile and I feel the Prius has a lot more potential once I figure out how to drive it right.
I got 65.3 and 63.3 on two fill ups. My best so far is trip home from work 87.1 mpg on an 18.2 mile trip. To work (at somewhat higher elevation) is about 60 mpg. Somewhat light foot, but not really full out hypermiling. I once got 99 mpg on an 8 mile trip in my old Honda Civic hybrid (circa year 2003ish?) so I hope to match or top that with the 2023 Prius. It is EV about 55 to 72% of the time. I think keeping that up is the key to high mileage. Backing off the accelerator just a bit and watching the EV light come on and then just adding little bits of pedal to keep it in EV is rewarding.
