    Ok I filled up my Prius for the first time since I got the car last week. I filled it with 3 bars left on the dashboard and it was 6.924 gallon with 322.4 miles travled. That came out to be about 46.6 MPG...

    Whats funny was that I started the pump and went back to my car to check out the features that I haven't fully explored for my Prius...and in NO TIME the pumped stopped.....At first I thought something's wrong with the pump because it shouldn't stop so quick..then i went out to check and realized I am driving my PRIUS!!!(I had a Honda Pilot before I got the Prius). Its too sudden to me that I didn't realized i was pumping my prius.

    I am impressed...Its only the first tank and from what I read it should get a little better after the car breaks in....Thanks to the forum where I Learned how to drive the "Prius way" before I purchase it and has been practicing it the moment I got the car...haaaa...this is fun...this is really fun....

    LOL!! Yea, it's almost a race for me to see if I can get the front windshield cleaned before the pump ticks off! Never get to the back window before it's full even on the low setting.

    I do the same thing. Kind of funny that we can even be mildly annoyed by something like that. :)
