    14 months later my little red Prius shows record-high fuel economy as the weather got warmer in New England. In the last 250 hwy miles it gave me 60!! The best I got a year ago was 55. Sweet.

    Congratulations. If Prius is a religion, then the doctrine of MPGs is working for you! However, as in any works-based religion, you can always do better. Good luck!

    Yay! Red is a lovely color for the Prius (and the Camry). I will be in Maine in 2-3 weeks. Haven't been there before, heard it is lovely up there.

    Average speed is 52 MPH too. That's pretty high.

    You average the speed of 60 MPH and get 52 MPG? That's pretty good.
