    The fuel gauge hit one pip left at about 395 miles and I have a bit of traveling to do today so I decided to fill the tank rather than wait for it to reach the warning blinker point. Statistics:

    delivered with 2 miles on odo
    first refuel at 398 miles on odo: 9.173 US gallons, 43.2 mpg average

    That's darn good seeing as it's been a week of running many short hops, two longish round trips through normal midday traffice, etc. It's about double what my best fuel economy with the Freelander ever was. And the Prius is quieter, easier to park, rides better, and seemingly holds more!

    I'm pleased. :)
