Mileage so far

Very nice numbers! How many pips are left on your display before you fill up? I always fill up when I see two pips and I've never put in more than 8 gallons at a time.

 

sadly lately I have been filling up every time I see a deal (like there are any deals!) The last time I put gas in it bought 5 gallons. almost 300 miles. That means I think almost 60mpg evn tho the display said 53....

It seems the more miles on the car the better the mpg gets. I am at 4000 miles now. Back up to 52 after about 50 miles of driving the full tank.

 

my monitor says 47.7, however, i have averaged 53 mpg based on miles driven divided by fuel intake, and this was averaged for the last 10+ times i've added fuel.

on an interesting note, people have said that the monitor is very accurate, but i've noticed it to be quite a few numbers off. has this been the shared experience?

i brought my car in for an alignment check and the dealer says that my mpg is very exceptional...............but i see the numbers claimed here and i'm just a lead footer! my rep told me that the AVERAGE mpg of the prius owners is anywhere between 35-44. so, with that in mind, i think i'm doing ok. it's just sometimes when i look at what others are getting, i get a bit fumed and say "what am i doing wrong????"

my soapbox..........................

 

whichever way, i'm glad we all drive the most fuel efficient latest-production car.

i'm very happy i made this decision just about 2-3 months ago. also, i'm very grateful for this site which allows me to know more about my car than i would ever imagine.

cheers.
