    In the last few days I have noticed my prius using a lot of gas. Although I may travel 10 miles, the fuel drops by 20-25 miles. Is anyone else having this problem? My tire pressure light has come on and I have refilled the tires although the light still remains. Does this have anything to do with fuel consumption?

    A flat tire will definitely hurt fuel economy.

    After filling your tires to 35/33 you will need to drive around for a bit for the sensors to reset.
