New member of the Prius C family

Hi all

Bought a new 2016 Prius C TWO about 3 weeks ago and love it. It replaced a 2002 Honda Accord EX which at 320K miles plus was starting to rust out around me. Still was getting nearly 40mpg highway on the 4 cyl 5 speed manual. For my 30 mile commute I'm getting high 50's going in with no traffic and mid 60's - low 70's going home running 50% EV. At least that's what the gauge says, haven't done enough fillups to determine how accurate that is.

One perk is getting a parking spot in the garage under the building where I work, so I don't have to worry about getting in a burning hot car or sweeping off snow in the winter. Getting the spot was the first order of business

Second order of business was to send in my Scangauge II in for a firmware update so I can use the extra X-gauge options.

 

I think I probably "pay for it" in the morning as the battery is below half charge and it takes a bit to bring it up.

The first half of the home commute is expressway, then due to traffic my GPS sends me on secondary roads. Speed limits almost always around 30mph and fairly level. As opposed to the commute in where a good deal of it is expressway.

My first fillup suggests that the display is about 5% too high. As I only need to fill up once a week (and even then I'm only one bar below half) it may take a while to get a handle on how accurate it is.
