    I was handed down the wife's 2020 AWD XLE. I average between 55-72 mpg depending on the weather. My monthly average is in the low 60's. I typically drive 19.7 miles per day. No interstate.

    So it looks like AWD Prius can get as good gas mileage as FWD? Do you have 15” or 17” tires? Thank you

    15 standard toyotas with the caps! I learned the caps are designed to re-direct air under the car to improve mpg. They should be about the same anyways. I dont think the awd prius is activated all the time. I doubt the system weighs much. Keep in mind, they do get less efficient with time. I used to get better mpg when the car was new. Cheers.
    100k miles trouble free!!!
