    I know it was a short trip, it was only 5.8 miles, I reset the trip meter on my way home just after I got of the expressway. I drove real easy taking advantage of good glide opportunities and had the AC on just because I like it cool. I averaged 28 mph on the trip, so I was not going to slow.

    And I thought these cars were suppose to get good fuel mileage!

    Guess you got the only one with bad mileage. Toyota puts one out every once in a while just to keep consumers on their toes.

    Enjoy watching that 93mpg go to a 50mpg when you start the car tomorrow with a low charge on the HV battery. Not bad though i have not been able to find a good spot to get numbers like that.

    I normally stay in the 48-52 mpg range. My wife and I made a 80 mile trip the other day and I got 64.5 mpg according to the computer, very happy with the fuel usage.
