    Vehicle:
    2010 Prius
    Model:
    III
    I mistakenly posted in the 2009 Prius section / I did repost
    in the 2010 section /

    Gross Vehicle Weight: 3,800 lbs / certified Dept. of Transportation Oregon truck scales

    Passengers: 3 adults with luggage etc.

    Trip: Seaside Oregon to San Francisco Ca and back.

    Filled up at Seaside Oregon gas station and trip began.

    Returned 4 days later and filled up at same gas staton.

    Distance traveled: 1,483.1 Miles
    Fuel used: 27.328 gallons ( reg gas with 10% Ethanol) Cal and OR gas)

    MPG Calculated: 54.270

    Route to San Francisco / Hwy 26 to Interstate 5
    Route to Seaside Hwy 101

    Speed 72 MPH to city speeds

    AC on about 30 % of the time

    Tires: Michelin Energy Saver / 195 X65X 15 with 44 PSI of Nitrogen
    in each tire, (42,000 miles on tires) at least another 20,000 left.

    Oil: Mobil One (0 W 20) filled with only 4 quarts of oil so not to
    over fill.

    Impressed with the MPG and overall handling of our Prius

    I believe that no other vehicle you can buy in the U.S. today
    can compare with the Prius for now....
